Of Bread, Blood and The Hunger Games: Critical Essays on the Suzanne Collins Trilogy (Critical Explorations in Science Fiction and Fantasy)

This collection of fresh essays on Suzanne Collinsâ€™s epic trilogy spans multiple disciplines. The contributors probe the trilogy's meaning using theories grounded in historicism, feminism, humanism, queer theory, as well as cultural, political, and media studies. The essayists demonstrate diverse perspectives regarding Collinsâ€™s novels but their works have three elements in common: an appreciation of the trilogy as literature, a belief in its permanent value, and a need to share both appreciation and belief with fellow readers. The 21 essays that follow the context-setting introduction are grouped into four parts: Part I â€œHistory, Politics, Economics, and Culture,â€ Part II â€œEthics, Aesthetics, and Identity,â€ Part III â€œResistance, Surveillance, and Simulacra,â€ and Part IV â€œThematic Parallels and Literary Traditions.â€ A core bibliography of dystopian and postapocalyptic works is included, with emphasis on the young adult categoryâ€”itself an increasingly crucial part of postmodern culture.
