Description de l'ouvrage :
A figure from ancient folklore, the doppelgänger—in fiction a character’s sinister look-alike—continues to reemerge in literature, television and film. The modern-day doppelganger (“double-goer” in German) is typically depicted in a traditional form adapted to reflect present-day social anxieties. Focusing on a broad range of narratives, the author explores 21st century representations in novels (Audrey Niffenegger’s Her Fearful Symmetry, José Saramago’s The Double), TV shows (Orphan Black, Battlestar Galactica, Ringer) and movies (The Island, The Prestige, Oblivion).

À propos de l'auteur :
Heather Duerre Humann teaches in the Department of Language and Literature at Florida Gulf Coast University. She is the author of multiple books and has contributed essays to edited collections and published articles, reviews and short stories in African American Review, Women’s Studies, South Atlantic Review and Studies in American Culture.

Revue de Presse :
“Undeniably, Humann’s book constitutes a very clairvoyant interpretation of our bourgeoning century and millennium. …this new study of doppelganger works remains an articulate and welcome contribution that brings a truthful look at the twenty-first-century problems we face"—Interdisciplinary Literary Studies
