My first academic article was on Jim Crace’s The Pesthouse and, since then, I’ve maintained a keen interest in this contemporary British writer. In 2017, thanks to a Harry Ransom Center Research Fellowship in the Humanities at the University of Texas at Austin (USA), I had the opportunity to research the previously unexplored archival materials of the Jim Crace Papers.
You can read about about my work on Crace, including at the Harry Ransom Center, here:
- “Apocalypse America”, in Diletta De Cristofaro, The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel: Critical Temporalities and the End Times (Bloomsbury, 2020).
- “Archipelago, Jim Crace’s last novel that never was”, Ransom Center Magazine, 8 February 2018.
- “‘False patterns out of chaos’: Writing beyond the Sense of an Ending in Being Dead and The Pesthouse” in Jim Crace: Into the Wilderness. Ed. Katy Shaw and Kate Aughterson. Cham: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. 65-79.
- “The Representational Impasse of Post-Apocalyptic Fiction: The Pesthouse by Jim Crace.” Altre Modernità 9 (2013): 66-80.
