“Ill be back”: The return of Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate

I am delighted to see my chapter “I’ll be back:” Linda Hamilton and the Return of Sarah Connor in Terminator: Dark Fate“ included as one of 16 case studies in a terrific new collection, edited by Gloria Monti and Martin Schingler: Comebacks, Cameos, and Camp: The Return of the Aging Star.

The authors featured in the book are not only drawn from the UK but also Australia, Brazil, Europe, India and the USA. This diverse collection reveals how film comebacks come in all forms and are achieved in all kinds of ways, which is what makes this topic so fascinating. The stars under discussion include Amitabh Bachchan, Linda Hamilton, Sessue Hayakawa, Wesley Snipes, Alida Valli, and Mae West. Even Bette Davis puts in an appearance, as does her nemesis Joan Crawford.

Reviewers have so far described this new publication as “innovative” (Melanie Bell, Leeds) and “exciting and discerning” (Lucy Bolton, Queen Mary), as well as “fascinating and entertaining” (Anne Jerslev, Copenhagen). Copies are available  from the WSUP website with 45% off the retail price before 6th January,  using the coupon code RHOLIDAY  at wsupress.wayne.edu
