Reading lists, course syllabi, and prizes include the phrase
'21st-century American literature,' but no critical consensus
exists regarding when the period began, which works typify it, how
to conceptualize its aesthetic priorities, and where its
geographical boundaries lie. Considerable criticism has been
published on this extraordinary era, but little programmatic
analysis has assessed comprehensively the literary and
critical/theoretical output to help readers navigate the labyrinth
of critical pathways. In addition to ensuring broad coverage of
many essential texts, The Cambridge Companion to 21st Century
American Fiction offers state-of-the field analyses of contemporary
narrative studies that set the terms of current and future research
and teaching. Individual chapters illuminate critical engagements
with emergent genres and concepts, including flash fiction,
speculative fiction, digital fiction, alternative temporalities,
Afro-futurism, ecocriticism, transgender/queer studies,
anti-carceral fiction, precarity, and post-9/11 fiction.
