Rooney, Millennial Fiction, and the Literary Middlebrow with Professor Alexander Manshel

In this episode I am joined by Professor Alexander Manshel to break down some of the defining characteristics of the literary middlebrow, millennial fiction, and the rise of literary TV adaptations. We also explore the renewed public interest in the identity of the author, and how the belief that Rooney's work is autofiction bolsters both book sales and her cultural prestige.

Normal People with Normal Malaise: Labour and Mental Health with Cassandra Luca

What is "the millennial condition", and why does it evoke "malaise"? What do these terms even mean? If anxiety is a normal and expected psychological and physiological reaction to exploitative labour conditions, hustle culture, and the looming threat of climate change, what is the point of pathologizing it as a mental illness? Many (if not all) of Rooney's characters invoke these questions through their own relationships to labour, sexual/romantic intimacy, and friendship. In this episode, Cassandra Luca joins me to interrogate how structures and systems of capitalism negatively impact our personal connections and overall wellbeing vis-a-vis Normal People and Beautiful World, Where Are You.

What the Heck is Historical Materialism? Breaking Down the Basics of Marxist Theory with Professor Sandeep Banerjee

No, but really, what the heck is historical materialism? Professor Sandeep Banerjee from McGill University joins me to break down the basics of Marxist Theory (better known as historical materialism), and dialectics. Sally Rooney is a self-proclaimed Marxist, and there has been a lot of buzz about how her particular style reveals her commitments to this kind of ideology. What does it mean to write 'relationally', and how does Rooney's literary project push back against traditional modes of realism? What makes a novel 'Marxist' beyond attention to class? What does it mean to think about the world dialectically? In this episode, Prof. Banerjee and I think through these questions together vis-a-vis Beautiful World, Where Are You.  emotional by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeen Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US
