If the September 11 terror attacks opened up an era of crises and
exceptions of which we are yet to see the end, it is perhaps not
surprising that care has emerged in the early twenty-first century
as a key political issue. This book approaches contemporary
narratives of care through the lens of a growing body of
theoretical writings on biopolitics. Through close-readings of J.M.
Coetzee's "Slow Man," Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go," Paul
Auster's "The Book of Illusions," and Tom McCarthy's "Remainder,"
it seeks to reframe debates about realism in the novel ranging from
Ian Watt to Zadie Smith as engagements with the novel's
biopolitical origins: its relation to pastoral care, the camps, and
the welfare state. Within such an understanding of the novel, what
possibilities for a critical aesthetics of existence does the
contemporary novel include?
