Popular Culture Review 30.2
ics are reference points for protagonist Gogol ’ s conflicted identity in Jhumpa Lahiri ’ s novel The Namesake , as Steven Hamelman explains in “ Side 3 , Side 2 : The Beatles in Jhumpa Lahiri ’ s The Namesake .”
Chillingly , we move to Richard Logsdon ’ s analysis of Matthieu Missoffe ’ s Black Spot , a European made for TV drama “ offering a contemporary version of Dante ’ s hell and a microcosmic , Gothicized caricature of contemporary Western Society .”
Finally , William and Patricia Kirtley tackle The National Inquirer in “ Fake News and Failed Friendships : An Analysis of Trump , Pecker , and The National Enquirer ,” including its development , analysis of readers , treatment of Trump and assorted campaign violations which is in its own way chilling .
We also showcase a range of new scholarly publications in our expanding Reviews section in the latter section of the journal�check out the hottest new research in popular culture !
