Konchar Farr, Cecilia.

The Ulysses DelusionRethinking Standards of Literary Merit /[electronic resource] :by Cecilia Konchar Farr. - 1st ed. 2016. - XX, 199 p.online resource. - American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,2634-579X. - American Literature Readings in the 21st Century,.

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.
