Popular fiction follows literature professors wherever they go. At
coffee shops or out for drinks, after faculty meetings or classes,
even at family reunions - they are persistently pressed to talk
about bestselling novels. Questions immediately follow: What do I
mean when I say a book is "good"? Why do contemporary novels like
these, conversations like these, matter to professors of
literature? Shouldn't they be spending their time re-reading The
Great Gatsby? The Ulysses Delusion confronts these questions and
answers their call for more engaged conversations about books.
Through topics like the Oprah's Book Club, Harry Potter, and Chick
Lit, Cecilia Konchar Farr explores the lively, democratic, and
gendered history of novels in the US as a context for understanding
how avid readers and literary professionals have come to assess
them so differently.
