It suggests the value of a critical look at texts’ genre use for an analysis of the contemporary moment. From this, it develops a broader perspective, suggesting the value of genre criticism and taking into view traditional genres such as the bildungsroman and the metafictional novel as well as the kinds of amalgamated forms which have recently come to prominence. In essays discussing a wide range of authors from Steven Hall to Bret Easton Ellis to Colson Whitehead, the contributors to the volume develop their own readings of genre’s work and valence in the contemporary novel.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 163mmItem Width: 24mmItem Weight: 576gContributor: Katie Daily-Bruckner (Contributions by), Tim Lanzendörfer (Edited by), Lai-Tze Fan (Contributions by), Robert Mousseau (Contributions by), Gavin F.
