“Serious inquiry supports civility in public life, inquisition damages it, and whatever reservations some might have about his positions on particular issues, these essays show Michnik to be very much a mainstay of that civility.”

"Invoking the language of markets, Nowlin’s volume provides a comprehensive framework for understanding environmental policymaking.　 This work is rare in its comprehensiveness, thoughtfully mapping the interrelated roles of policy actors within varied institutions and across levels of government, while also providing ample empirical evidence showing how agendas are constructed and why polarization is occurring, among a plethora of other findings. One of the most complete pictures of US environmental policy I have seen and a must for the bookshelves of both academics and advocates."　　-- Michael Jones, Oregon State University, USA
"The inability, or unwillingness, of the US government to address climate change in a meaningful way is a source of puzzlement and frustration for those who see climate change as the central human problem of our time. Nowlin offers students, scholars, and practitioners an insightful and readable framework for understanding our failure to act. His appraisal of contemporary environmental policymaking is both well-grounded and sobering."　 -- Megan Mullin, Duke University, USA

"This is a great book!　 It offers a framework for understanding policy making and climate change, integrates theoretical insights, and brings to bear rich empirical data to ground its comprehensive coverage.　 Readers will leave this book with a structured way of thinking about the political challenges associated with climate change and what the future might hold."　 -- Christopher M. Weible, University of Colorado, USA

"Much has been written about Schlink's 'Nazi' novels - the trilogy featuring Nazi-judge-turned-detective Gerhard Selb and the internationally famous The Reader, particularly the latter and its film version (2008) - but no one has written more discerningly about it than Donahue. His scholarship is thorough and his critique is unrelenting. Summing Up: Essential.' - Choice

"Holocaust as Fiction is, to this reviewer's knowledge, currently the most sophisticated work of English-language scholarship in existence on "the Schlink phenomenon" and should be required reading on the topic." - German Studies Review

"William Donahue's Holocaust as Fiction probes one of the most provocative phenomena of Holocaust remembrance at the turn of the millennium - Bernhard Schlink's 1995 bestseller Der Vorleser (The Reader), followed by its popular 2008 film adaptation - in all its complexity. Central to Donahue's analysis is his attention to The Reader not merely as a popular book or film, but as a site of extensive public discussion and cultural engagement, ranging from earnest pedagogical protocols to contentious critical debates. With incisive and lively prose, Donahue guides his readers through the evolution of Schlink's literary approach to postwar Germany's reconciliation with the Nazi past; the reception of the author, his fiction, and its adaptation for the screen; and, most importantly, the problematic establishment of The Reader as a landmark of Germany's evolving engagement with the Nazi era and the Holocaust. In analyzing a literary work that proves to be deceptively facile, Donahue brings carefully nuanced attention to the many facets of the Vorleser phenomenon, explaining the various responses the novel has engendered as revealing, if sometimes disturbing, cultural enterprises in their own right. Beyond its essential value for those who have read, taught, or argued over Schlink's work, Holocaust as Fiction is an important case study in the challenges of Holocaust remembrance both in Germany and America." - Jeffrey Shandler, author of While America Watches: Televising the Holocaust

"Lucid, comprehensive and thought-provoking, Holocaust as Fiction is both a critical study of one of the most disputed authors of postwar German literature, and an incisive reflection on the place of the Holocaust in the Western cultural imagination. Anyone interested in the place of modern, manmade catastrophes in contemporary culture will greatly benefit from reading this original, insightful book." - Amir Eshel, Charles Michael Chair in Jewish History and Culture, Stanford University, USA

"This book represents the first scholarly study to probe the 'Schlink phenomenon' and analyze its profound role in coming to terms with the Holocaust. Through deliberate and compelling analyses of Schlink's novels (and their adaptation in film), Donahue dissects the seductive, transnational appeal of his work and the ways in which popular culture more generally has contributed to the success of Germany's normalization campaign. A must read for anyone seriously interested in Holocaust studies." - Todd Samuel Presner, Professor of Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature, Director of the Center for Jewish Studies, University of California Los Angeles, USA

"William Collins Donahue's Holocaust as Fiction is the most comprehensive study of Bernard Schlink's world-famous novel and the resulting blockbuster film. It is solid, intelligent, and strongly argued. It reflects the critical literature on NS imagery in our time ably and provides the reader with clear and detailed interpretations of both the novel and film as well as their cultural contexts from contemproary Germany to Hollywood.' - Sander Gilman, Distinguished Professor of the Liberal Arts and Sciences, Professor of Psychiatry, Emory University, USA

"This study is valuable for anyone teaching or considering teaching Der Vorleser. With English translations throughout, it is widely accessible to a broad audience. Finally, it represents the first significant investigation into the 'Schlink phenomenon' and therefore makes an important contribution to research that continues to grapple with the legacy of the Holocaust in contemporary German - and American - culture." - Women in German Newsletter

"Holocaust as Fiction is . . . currently the most sophisticated work of English-language scholarship in existence on 'the Schlink phenomenon' and should be required reading on the topic." - Daniel H. Magilow, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA

&#160;"At a time when all workers are required to show &ldquo;passion&rdquo; for their jobs, Willing Slaves of Capital is a crucial re-affirmation of the importance of Spinoza&rsquo;s philosophy for understanding contemporary forms of servitude. Lordon persuasively and elegantly shows that the only way to break free is to hold onto a cold and exceptionless determinism: hope is pointless, regret is meaningless, yet change can still be made to happen."&#160;&mdash;Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism"Lordon effectively and brilliantly demonstrates that Spinoza is less a precursor to Marx than a necessary complement. Only Spinoza&rsquo;s examination of the production of desire can answer the question that is at the core of Marxism: Why do workers work for capital rather than their own liberation?"&#160;&mdash;Jason Read, University of Southern Maine&#160;"This ambitious but always lucid book aims to reopen the conceptual framework of capitalism."&mdash;Le Monde"This work is an initiatory voyage towards communism &hellip; a horizon that has to be sought with perseverance rather than a definitively achieved state."&mdash;L'Humanit&eacute;"Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Lordon is one of the most audacious contemporary left-wing economists."&mdash;Le Nouvel Observateur
