Editorial Reviews

Marrone offers carefully articulated and significant insights into Seth's work, especially in his comprehensive consideration of all of Seth's major work to date, most of which has received little critical attention. . . . He is not the first to recognize that Seth's interest in the past extends well beyond simple nostalgia, but he is the first to devote extensive attention to a troubling of nostalgia as Seth's defining trait, making instead a case for Seth's complex and transformative engagement with the past.
