Jeffrey Gonzalez teaches English at Montclair State University. He teaches classes on 20th century American literature. His writing explores how massive changes in cultural hierarchies and arrangements of power over the past several decades have led to alterations in the form and function of literary narratives. He is currently revising an essay about the ambivalence several fiction writers exhibit toward Walt Whitman and is at work on a project about the various ways of periodizing post-1990 literature. He has published articles in Mosaic: A Journal for the Interdisciplinary Study of Literature and Critique: Studies in Contemporary Fiction and was lead editor of the Corporations and Culture issue of New American Notes Online.
