Recenzii

“His new book, American Political Fictions, completes a trilogy of sorts on American politics and popular fiction, preceded by Ars Americana, Ars Politica (2010) and American Utopia and Social Engineering (2011). … the indispensability of his study, not only for literary, political, and American studies but also for any scholar looking at television, rap music, and even religious eschatology.” (Tero Eljas Vanhanen, Journal of American Culture, December, 2016)
“Well versed in both political and literary theories and contemporary developments, Swirski engages in an in-depth and rigorous discussion that sheds light on the myths lying at the heart of American politics by focusing on diverse art and media such as novels, music, film and television. … American Political Fictions offers a profound analysis by a deeply engaged and erudite scholar who examines the literature ofpolitics in an entertaining and yet sharp and caustic manner.” (Chrysavgi Papagianni, European Journal of American Studies, October, 2016)
"One of the many remarkable things about this literary and political study is that it does not limit itself to identifying the myths underlying contemporary American politics and filleting them with verve, wit, and humor. ... [A] must-read of the year...[Swirski] spells out the potential solution to some of the political woes beginning notably with political apathy which plague the United States and many other Western democracies....[R]ecounted with the aplomb of a journalist tempered by the research habits of a historian." - The Montréal Review
