These chapters demonstrate that, while this companion would be of most interest to literary scholars working across the senses, its generous approach to cross-disciplinarity makes it a valuable read for those researching across cultural studies, film, linguistics, media, musicology, and performance.--Cameron MacDonald ""Sound Studies: An interdisciplinary journal"" This expertly organised volume, composed of foundational and up-and-coming voices, asserts the rightful place of writing and language in the study of sound. While it's long been a truism that the sonic turn is against the linguistic, this volume begins from a deconstructive premise to encounter the literary anew in the most vital debates in sound studies today. --Julie Beth Napolin, The New School
