Through technological experiments, readers have seen the concept of
the book change over the years, and the novel reflects these
experiments, acting as a kind of archive for information. Out of
Print reveals that the novel continues to shape popular
understandings of information culture, even as it adapts to engage
with new media and new practices of mediating information in the
digital age.This innovative study chronicles how the print book has
fared as both novelists and the burgeoning profession of
information science have grappled with unprecedented quantities of
data across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As the
novel's archival project took a critical turn from realism to an
investigation of the structures, possibilities, and ideologies of
information media, novelists have considered ideas about how data
can best be collected and stored. Julia Panko pairs case studies
from information history with close readings of modernist works
such as James Joyce's Ulysses and Virginia Woolf's Orlando and
contemporary novels from Jonathan Safran Foer, Stephen King, and
Mark Z. Danielewski that emphasize their own informational
qualities and experiment with the aesthetic potential of the print
book.
