Reviews

Gary Crew, University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia:

Would-be 19th-century visual artists rejoiced in the Salon des Refuses – the site where they could display work rejected by the establishment. Would-be 21st-century writers can rejoice in Nigel Krauth’s Creative Writing and the Radical, a celebration of the ‘resurrection of the author’ as off-the-wall creator.

Lance Olsen, University of Utah, USA:

Nigel Krauth’s exploration of radical writing from the perspective of both writer and teacher afloat in the multimodal age is extraordinarily valuable — at once wide-ranging, historically and theoretically savvy, provocative, instructive, inspiring, and accessible. A must read for anyone interested in the challenges, opportunities, and attractions involved in composing the contemporary.

Hazel Smith, Western Sydney University, Australia:

Nigel Krauth’s Creative Writing and the Radical is itself a radical intervention in creative writing studies. Krauth gives an incisive account of the history of experimental fiction, and argues cogently for a multimodal, non-linear and technological approach to creative writing. This landmark book brings the creative writing classroom into the digital and multimedia era.
