Borislav Knežević. Reading Joyce after the Postcolonial Turn. Zagreb: FF-press, 2012.
The book examines the impact of postcolonial theory on interpretations of Joyce’s fiction. It seeks to elucidate critically some of the limitations of historiographic discourse in postcolonial criticism. It also seeks to call attention to some underanalyzed issues in Joyce’s fiction, such as the issue of social class.

Veliki anglo-američki pripovjedači našeg doba
Sonja Bašić. Veliki anglo-američki pripovjedači našeg doba. Biblioteka književna smotra, ur. Irena Lukšić, Zagreb: Hrvatsko filološko društvo, 2012.
U knjizi u kojoj je sabrala niz svojih čitanja poglavito američkih autora Sonja Bašić dijalogizira s naznačenim stanjem književne teorije artikulirajući pritom pristup i valorizaciju književnosti koji, iako jasno naznačuju i odgovaraju zahtjevima koje to stanje postavlja pred čitatelje, zagovaraju neposredniji i spontaniji odnos prema tekstualnim predlošcima pa, shodno tome, i prvenstvo spisateljskog umijeća.
Hrvatskom će čitatelju posebice biti zanimljive one dionice knjige Sonje Bašić u kojima ona, čitajući američke pisce, ali i Joycea, bilježi načine kako ih je hrvatska književnost recepirala, kako se kod niza naših pisaca uprizorio taj intertekstualni susret. Težište tih analiza je iznalaženje formalno-tematskih odjeka, od kojih valja spomenuti komparativističko čitanje Poea u svezi s Matošom, ukazivanje na hrvatske analogije Faulknerovu regionalizmu, Šoljanovu „(meta)fikcionalnu ekstravaganzu“ na tragu Joyceova eksperimentiranja ili pak završni esej u kojemu istražuje kako su se Joyce, Faulkner i Krleža nosili s balastom povijesti u perifernim kulturnim sredinama.
