520    "British Fiction and the Struggle Against Work offers an 
       account of British literary responses to work from the 
       1950s to the onset of the financial crisis of 2008/9. 
       Roberto del Valle Alcal ̀argues that throughout this 
       period, working-class writing developed new strategies of 
       resistance against the social discipline imposed by 
       capitalist work. As the latter becomes an increasingly 
       pervasive and inescapable form of control and as its 
       nature grows abstract, diffuse, and precarious, writing 
       about it acquires a new antagonistic quality, producing 
       new forms of subjective autonomy and new imaginaries of a 
       possible life beyond its purview. By tracing a genealogy 
       of working-class authors and texts that in various ways 
       defined themselves against the social discipline imposed 
       by post-war capitalism, this book analyses the strategies 
       adopted by workers in their attempts to identify and 
       combat the source of their oppression. Drawing on the work
       of a wide range of theorists including Deleuze and 
       Guattari, Giorgio Agamben and Antonio Negri, Alcal ̀offers
       a systematic and innovative account of British literary 
       treatments of work. The book includes close readings of 
       fiction by Alan Sillitoe, David Storey, Nell Dunn, Pat 
       Barker, James Kelman, Irvine Welsh, Monica Ali, and Joanna
       Kavenna."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
