This is the story of the books punks read and why they read them. The Year's Work in the Punk Bookshelf challenges the stereotype that punk rock is a bastion of violent, drug-addicted, uneducated drop outs. Brian James Schill explores how, for decades, punk and postpunk subculture has absorbed, debated, and reintroduced into popular culture, philosophy, classic literature, poetry, and avant-garde theatre. Connecting punk to not only Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud, but Dostoevsky, Rimbaud, Henry Miller, Kafka, and Philip K. Dick, this work documents and interprets the subculture's literary history. In detailing the punk bookshelf, Schill contends that punk's literary and intellectual interests can be traced to the sense of shame (whether physical, socioeconomic, cultural, or sexual) its advocates feel in the face of a shameless market economy that not only preoccupied many of punks' favorite writers but generated the entire punk polemic.

No Future. Punk is Dead. That is what was sung and said. Yet as we approach 50 years of punk rock, it still endures, and sometime thrives. From 'White riot' to Pussy Riot, Never Mind the Bollocks to Nevermind, DIY to never gonna die, punk rock has marked or stained-it marks or stains-our musical and cultural history and practice. Here key established writers as well as emerging scholars from around the world offer critical views on punk practice and legacy, in a timely re-evaluation of its significance as music, culture, politics, nostalgia, heritage. The handbook looks at pre- and proto-punk forms, the 'high years' of c. 1976-84, the international spread of the music and style, punk media from films to fanzines, as well as a thread that may run through its entire history-the inspiring politics of DIY (Do It Yourself). Crossing and blurring disciplinary boundaries, it presents methodological innovations to offer new ways of understanding punk's significance. The Oxford Handbook of Punk Rock also identifies and explores some of punk's core contradictions: its anti-war messages alongside its (often gendered) violence, its anti-racism alongside its dominant whiteness, its energy and attitudinality as a youth culture for an aging demographic, its intermittent but persistent flirtations with populism and nationalism.
Cormac McCarthy's Neoliberalism

In Cormac McCarthy’s Neoliberalism: Breakdown in Mercantile Ethics, editor Brian James Schill gathers insightful essays that probe how McCarthy’s works have commented on and caricatured the economic, political, and cultural forces of neoliberalism. Spanning McCarthy’s career from Suttree to his final novels The Passenger and Stella Maris, this volume positions McCarthy as both a chronicler of and a participant in the neoliberal era. The contributors explore how McCarthy’s fictions—often set against vast, barren landscapes—reflect the predatory logic of neoliberal capitalism, marked by economic inequality, environmental degradation, and social upheaval. The nine essays presented here argue that McCarthy’s critiques go beyond the superficial and delve deeply into the material and cultural conditions shaped by neoliberal governance. By examining the commodification and accumulation of wealth, both in the settings of his novels and the lives of his characters, McCarthy is revealed as both a sharp observer of the social consequences of unchecked capitalist expansion and a participant in that expansion. Ultimately, Cormac McCarthy’s Neoliberalism demonstrates how the master’s works grapple with the ways in which neoliberalism has reshaped human relationships, from the intimate to the institutional, while casting a spotlight on those left behind by global economic forces.
