Books by Matthew Schultz

Shining a light on the mysterious and tragic history of the American Northeast, We, The Wanted is a gothic tale of isolation, the consequences of disbelief, and the monsters that lurk beyond the pale of civilization hoping to lure us into their darkness.

The essays in What Came Before say without saying. Combining and blurring the genres of myth, essay, and poetry, these small works explore subjects as diverse as the death of Moses, the special relationship between gay men and cats, the movie "Titanic," rock collections, and the afterlife.

Joycean Arcana: Ulysses and the Tarot de Marseille proposes a new framework for exploring the complex characters and relationships in James Joyce's Ulysses, by pairing 22 Tarot cards with a character in the novel.

Matthew Schultz maps rhetorical hauntings across a wide range of postcolonial Irish novels, and defines the spectre as a non-present presence that simultaneously symbolises and analyses an overlapping of Irish myth and Irish history. -- .
