| Abstract
|
:
|
The 21st century has been marked by a series of crises in which life's vulnerability was brutally exposed. As a result, care has moved to the forefront of ethical and political debates. 'Narrative Care' shows that care is also an aesthetic issue: through close-readings of J.M. Coetzee's 'Slow Man', Kazuo Ishiguro's 'Never Let Me Go', Paul Auster's 'The Book of Illusions', and Tom McCarthy's 'Remainder', it investigates how literary representations of care are shaped by and have helped shape discussions about the welfare state and pastoral care; about the concentration camps and bare life; and more.
