This book investigates a new form of fiction that is currently
emerging in contemporary literature across the globe. 'Novels of
the contemporary extreme' - from North and South America, from
Europe, and the Middle East - are set in a world both similar to
and different from our own: a hyper real, often apocalyptic world
progressively invaded by popular culture, permeated with technology
and dominated by destruction. While their writing is commonly
classified as 'hip' or 'underground' literature, authors of
contemporary extreme novels have often been the center of public
controversy and scandal; they, and their work, become international
bestsellers. This collection of essays identifies and describes
this international phenomenon, investigating the appeal of these
novels' styles and themes, the reasons behind their success, and
the fierce debates they provoked.>
