Why are Madonna and Marina Abramović treated as postmodern saints? Because their art draws on folk-religious forms of expression that can be traced back to the 19th century. Curious? Then take a closer look at one of our top titles for the fall season 👇 #popularculture #art #music #science

#academicsky let's celebrate the edited book chapter. What is an edited book chapter that you're particularly proud of, or you think deserves more readers? #celebratebookchapter Here's one of mine that I would dearly love novel people/contemporary literature people to read. Please!

Cover of de Gruyter's _To Be Continued--Forms of Narrative Continuation. Edited by Ulla Haselstein and Florian Sedlmeier (2026)

Deidre Lynch, "Ali Smith and the Unfinished Boo: Novels, Middles, and Serialization in an Electronic Age"
Abstract: This essay, an experiment in combining the methods of narrative theory with those of book and media history, recovers from British novelist Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet’ a running commentary on the tensions between continuation and completion that are hardwired into the novel as a genre. As she challenged normal publication schedules and published Autumn, Winter , Spring, and Summer
in rapid succession, one book a year for four years from October 2016 to July 2020, Smith prompted her readers to recall the prior example of nineteenth-century serial fiction and its defining media alliance with the newspaper . The Quartet explicitly remembers and remediates the sprawl of Victorian fiction, its dilatoriness and devotion to narrative middles, and its equivocal relationship to narrative closure.
Attending to the media habits ascribed to the characters of the Quartet, this essay also connects these books’ explorations of time and narrative mode to their investigations of their own media platforms. Smith’s experiments with narrative form are inseparable, I contend, from her documentation of the media ecology that the
novel enters in the twenty-first century, whether as a bound and printed volumeor as electronic text to be consumed on a phone.

Keywords: Serialization, codex, narrative middles, narrative closure, book covers
“The word last is a very versatile word. Among other more unexpected things –like the piece of metal shaped like a foot which a cobbler uses to make shoes – it can mean both finality and continuance, it can mean the last time, and something a lot more lasting than that.”
– Ali Smith, “Last”, in Public Library and Other Stories (2015)
