title = "Nonhuman Presence and Ontological Instability in Twenty-First Century New York Fiction",
abstract = "This article explores ontological instability in three contemporary New York novels. Drawing on Brian McHale{\textquoteright}s Postmodernist Fiction and on the concept of the fold as developed by Gilles Deleuze, it examines Teju Cole{\textquoteright}s Open City (2011), Jonathan Lethem{\textquoteright}s Chronic City (2009), and Ben Lerner{\textquoteright}s 10:04 (2014) and looks, in particular, at how occurrences of nonhuman presence and menacing weather conditions threaten the ontological stability of the narrated storyworld.",
