A consideration of literary geography as a specialist academic field. Interspatiality is a book about the language, theory, and practice of literary geography that takes as its subject matter the inseparability of writing, reading, and living. It explores ways of engaging with interrelated textual-social-spatial processes, working with the problem of how to appreciate these processes as inseparable; how to articulate the complex spatialities they generate; and how to convey their presence, power, and significance in literary texts. By focusing on literary geography as something inhabited as well as studied, it draws attention to the interspatiality of routine daily life.

Combining literary analysis with a practical introduction to interdisciplinary literary geography, Literary Geograp hie s examines key elements of Colum McCann's 2009 novel, Let the Great World Spi n . Hones examines concepts such as narrative space, literary and academic collaboration, and the geographies of creation, production, and reception.
