"Realism's Staccato"

Arne’s research focuses on critical theory and the contemporary novel. While his first book States of Exception in the Contemporary Novel (Continuum, 2012) dealt with the fate of the novel in the post-9/11 era, his most recent book Narrative Care:  Biopolitics and the Novel (Bloomsbury, 2013) investigates the novel’s relation to biopolitics through a study of contemporary narratives of care. 

He is currently at work on a new book project, tentatively titled Finance Fictions, which deals with psychosis in the contemporary American finance novel.
