Through a series of case studies spanning the bounds of literature,
photography, essay, and manifesto, this book examines the ways in
which literary texts do theoretical, ethical, and political work.
Nicole Simek approaches the relationship between literature,
theory, and public life through a specific site, the French
Antillean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, and focuses on two
mutually elucidating terms: hunger and irony. Reading these
concepts together helps elucidate irony's creative potential and
limits. If hunger gives irony purchase by anchoring it in
particular historical and material conditions, irony also gives a
literature and politics of hunger a means for moving beyond a given
situation, for pushing through the inertias of history and culture.
