Authority by Andrea Long Chu
Authority is a collection of essays by Andrea Long Chu that examines what authority means in contemporary criticism and culture. Chu reads novels, television, theater, and video games, revisiting works such as The Phantom of the Opera and the reception of Octavia Butler, while critiquing the habits of literary critics. She traces the history of criticism from the eighteenth century to the social-media era and argues for a form of criticism fit to respond to real political crises.
