Neoliberalism is the rare buzzword that has fully crossed over from
academic theorizing into mainstream discussion. Neoliberalism and
Contemporary American Literature is the first book to examine the
ways that US literature has responded to the dominance of our
neoliberal regime. The essays collected here reveal how
contemporary American writers have both propped up and interrogated
the foundations of neoliberalism. The contributors look at a host
of literary genres and styles, from the utopian sci-fi of Kim
Stanley Robinson and the dark fantasy of Karen Russell to the
poetic memoir-fiction hybrids of Ben Lerner, exploring how the
relationships between politics, economics, and literary form have
become both distorted and revitalized in the age of neoliberalism.
Most pressingly, they ask if contemporary literature can still
imagine either the end of capitalism or any realistic alternative
to it.
