Description
The 2000s: A Decade of Contemporary British Fiction by Nick Bentley, Nick Hubble, and Leigh Wilson explores how social, cultural, and political events in Britain during this period influenced the writing and reading of fiction. The decade saw significant changes in publishing, buying, and reading habits, which are examined in the collection alongside the impact of socio-political and economic shifts on contemporary British literature. The essays consider topics such as neuroscience, violence, historical subcultures, and the complex relationship between the novel and its world. This volume brings together established and newer voices, including Monica Ali, Mark Haddon, Tom McCarthy, David Peace, Zadie Smith, Salman Rushdie, Hilary Mantel, and Ian McEwan, providing a comprehensive assessment of British fiction in the 2000s.
