Corridor offers a series of conceptually provocative readings that illuminate a hidden and surprising relationship between architectural space and modern American fiction. By paying close attention to fictional descriptions of some of modernity’s least remarkable structures, such as plumbing, ductwork, and airshafts, Kate Marshall discovers a rich network of connections between corridors and novels, one that also sheds new light on the nature of modern media. The corridor is the dominant organizational structure in modern architecture, yet its various functions are taken for granted, and it tends to disappear from view. But, as Marshall shows, even the most banal structures become strangely visible in the noisy communication systems of American fiction. By examining the link between modernist novels and corridors, Marshall demonstrates the ways architectural elements act as media. In a fresh look at the late naturalist fiction of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s, she leads the reader through the fetus-clogged sewers of Manhattan Transfer to the corpse-choked furnaces of Native Son and reveals how these invisible spaces have a fascinating history in organizing the structure of modern persons. Portraying media as not only objects but processes, Marshall develops a new idiom for Americanist literary criticism, one that explains how media studies can inform our understanding of modernist literature.

DON'T SAY A WORD is the empowering memoir of Kate Marshall, a mother-of-four from Manchester. Ripped from her many brothers and sisters at the age of eight, Kate's mother uproots her to a new life in which love and safety are not priorities. With few explanations, Kate is thrown into a world of chaos and neglect, a world which her Uncle Phil exploits through a campaign of shocking abuse over many years. The lessons Kate learns in those early years leave her extremely vulnerable and, while still a teenager, she marries an emotionally abusive, gaslighting fraudster, spending years in a controlled marriage punctuated by bulimia and a fierce desire to protect her beloved children. Finally finding the courage to leave, she seizes control of her own destiny by taking her paedophile uncle to court, where his guilt on all charges sees him finally face up to what he has done. From that moment, Kate vows she will never again be the victim of those who chose to control and abuse her, that she will fight for herself and for others with every breath she has - that she will never be silenced again.

"Kate Marshall is only eight years old when her parents split up and she is uprooted from the home she loves and taken to a brash new town where life is much tougher and rougher. Made to live in a pub where her mother is a barmaid, Kate is plunged into a world of coarse hard-drinkers for whom childcare and privacy are not a priority. Her paedophile Uncle Phil soon takes full advantage of the chaotic situation, and Kate is subjected to horrific abuses that go unnoticed--and even ignored--by the wayward adults surrounding her. Made to feel worthless and dirty, Kate learns patterns of behaviour that repeat themselves later in her life when, married far too young to an emotionally controlling fraudster, she hits rock bottom and suffers an eating disorder. Finding the courage to face her painful childhood, Kate brings her abuser to justice and turns her life around. Her story of hope after despair is a powerful reminder that we can change our lives as well as the lives of others who need our help."--Provided by publisher.
