Visions of post-apocalyptic worlds have proved to be irresistible
for many 21st-century writers, from literary novelists to fantasy
and young adult writers. Exploring a wide range of texts, from the
works of Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, Tom Perrotta and Emily
St. John Mandel to young adult novels such as Suzanne Collins's The
Hunger Games series, this is the first critical introduction to
contemporary apocalyptic fiction. Exploring the cultural and
political contexts of these writings and their echoes in popular
media, Apocalyptic Fiction also examines how contemporary
apocalyptic texts looks back to earlier writings by the likes of
Mary Shelley, H.G. Wells and J.G. Ballard. Apocalyptic Fiction
includes an annotated guide to secondary readings, making this an
essential guide for students of contemporary fiction at all levels.
