Co-Edited by Art Histories Tutor and Lecturer Jon Shaw, Fiction As Method published by Sternberg Press 2018 is a brilliant illustration of the fact that ‘Fictions, by definition, are works that present us with unreal stories and situations. And yet, these fictions – novels- sings, pictures, theories and so on – are themselves actual things in the world. They are processes, performances, and objects. They portray unrealities, but they themselves are real. The essays in this volume, from a wide variety of points of view, all consider the reality of avowed fictions; their powers and effects, both for good and ill’ (Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University)
Fiction As Method is available in all good bookshops and of course for loan in the City and Guilds of London Art School Library.
