'... it is as a reader of texts, and particularly literary texts, that Ahearn shines. His readings of literary works are impressive and invariably illuminating. Ahearn engages these texts profoundly, working to make connections between them and the abiding problems of the modern city.' Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson, Columbia University, and author of Paris as Revolution: Writing the 19th-Century City  ’Ahearn brings an impressively comprehensive knowledge of the field to his readings, from Ã‰mile Durkheim and Max Weber to recent studies of global cities by David Harvey and Manuel Castells. Urban Confrontations assembles a rich assortment of politically committed writers whose work testifies to a significant overlap between literary representations of the city and sociological ones.’ Times Literary Supplement  ’Ranging from the poetry of Baudelaire to the fiction of Don DeLillo, set adjacent to the work of social scientists from Durkheim to Harvey, Ahearn’s innovative work captures the exuberance and paradoxes of city life, and generates a contradictory and riotous light on the urban landscape... This interdisciplinary project is exhilarating... The scope of this assemblage with its pretension to span the development of urban theory through its fictional accompaniments makes Urban Confrontations groundbreaking.’ Housing Studies Journal  ’Ahearn is a comparatist, and this is a fine example of what comparative literature can achieve... The scope of comparative work is extraordinarily wide, and much depends on what the scholar chooses from an ocean of possibilities. In every respect, Ahearn has chosen well.’ British Society for Literature and Science   'Ahearn provides deft plot summaries, and strategic reminders of his process, to clarify his interpretations and critiques. This is an exemplary pedagogical work, the fruit of a life-time of award-winning teaching and co-teaching at Brown University.' Literaturesalon’s Blog
