Coverage of John Keene and Counternarratives


John Keene's Counternarratives, published on May 21, 2015, was the subject of several reviews last year. Keene's publisher, New Directions, will publish the paperback in May 2016. I'm hoping to finally start publishing some of my write-ups on his collection of fiction over the next couple of days and weeks. In the meantime, I've posted a collection of online materials (reviews, interviews, and news) concerning the coverage of Counternarratives.
