Bio
Ery Shin specializes in twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, with leading interests in modernism, comparative literature, and continental philosophy. Her first book, Gertrude Stein’s Surrealist Years (University of Alabama Press, 2020), traces Stein’s later experimental gestures and their philosophical implications within Hitler’s Europe. Her current monograph project interrogates the political grounds upon which deathways are forged. It is a sister work to her debut novel, Spring on the Peninsula (Astra House, 2024).
