In Reading Contingency: The Accident in Contemporary Fiction, David
Wylot constructs an innovative study of the relationship between
plotted accidents in twenty-first century British and American
fiction, the phenomenology of reading, and a contemporary
experience of time that is increasingly understood to be contingent
and accidental. A synthesis of literary and cultural analysis,
narratology, critical theories of time and the philosophy of
contingency, the book explores the accident's imagination of
contemporary time and the relationship between reading and living
in novels by writers including A.M. Homes, Nicola Barker, Noah
Hawley, J.M. Coetzee, J.G. Ballard, Jesmyn Ward, Jennifer Egan, and
Tom McCarthy.
