It explores how a selection of novels can be considered as “second-wave” or “post-postmodern” in light of their borrowing more from mainstream and classical genres as opposed to formally experimental avant-garde techniques. It considers how writers utilise the cultural capital of London in a process of relocating marginalized, subjugated or under-represented voices. The millennium provides an apt symbolic opportunity to reflect on British fiction and to consider the direction in which contemporary authors are moving. As such, key novels by Martin Amis, Bella Bathurst, Bernardine Evaristo, Mark Haddon, Nick Hornby, Hanif Kureishi, Andrea Levy, Gautam Malkani, Timothy Mo, Will Self, Ali Smith, Zadie Smith, Rupert Thomson, and Sarah Waters are used to explore writing beyond the postmodern..‘In this significant and welcome contribution to the field, Allen provides us with a sophisticated, detailed, and rigorous study of the move in contemporary fiction beyond postmodernism as exemplified by London fiction.’.—Nick Hubble, Brunel University Lon | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | City; Urban studies; Martin Amis; Mark Haddon; Nick Hornby,; Hanif Kureishi; Will Self; Sarah Waters; Zadie | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-48886-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-48888-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-48886-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
