1 On the way in which American geopolitical power in the twentieth century defined itself through more abstract forms of geography, see N. Smith 17.

2 On this theme, see Wilson, “Introduction” 6–7.

3 On geography and gender, see Massey; on place and global connectivity, see Heise.

4 For an example of this genre, see K. Jackson.

5 On Updike’s intertextual relation to Hawthorne, see Schiff.

6 On the metahistorical dimension to Rabbit at Rest, see Vargo 73.

7 For a utopian prognosis of these developments, see Grossman. The approach of Hardt and Negri is more measured.

8 For the classic account of TV “flow,” see R. Williams, Television. For a more specific argument about how TV uses the ideological implications of a “live” appearance to overcome various contradictions between flow and fragmentation, see Feuer 16.

9 On this theme, see Sollors, “Ethnic Modernism” 74.

10 For Wallace’s favorite authors, see the interview with L. Miller.

11 In his 1993 interview with McCaffery, Wallace said, “We’re in language. . . . [I]t’s not that language is us, but we’re still in it, inescapably, the same way we’re in like Kant’s space-time” (144).

12 “Most of the people I know well enough to ask if I can come over and watch their TV are members of my church.” Wallace, “View from Mrs. Thompson’s,” 135.

13 On the globalization of human-rights discourse, see Rodowick 14. In 2002, Eggers opened 826 Valencia, a writing lab for young people located in the Mission District of San Francisco, which now has branches across the United States.

14 On how a “principle of uncertainty” and “an order of the indecipherable” are associated with animals, see Baudrillard, “The Animals” 129–30.

15 “It is the edge of virtual, where it leaks into actual, that counts.” Massumi 43.

16 For an argument about “the debilitating effects of globalization on . . . the field of literary studies,” see O’Hara viii.
