This book provides insight into the impact the 2007/8 financial
crisis and subsequent Great Recession had on American fiction.
Employing an interdisciplinary approach which combines literary
studies with anthropology, economics, sociology, and psychology,
the author attempts to gauge the changes that the crisis
facilitated in the American novel. Focusing on four books,
Elizabeth Strout's My Name Is Lucy Barton, Philipp Meyer's American
Rust, Sophie McManus's The Unfortunates, and William Gibson's The
Peripheral, the study traces how they present such issues as
poverty, wealth, equality, distinction, opportunity, and how they
relate both to traditional criticisms of consumer culture and the
US economy, particularly those issues that have received more
attention as a result of the crisis. It also tackles the issue of
genre and interpretation in this period, as well as what methods
the analyzed novels employ in order to highlight the decreasing
social mobility of Americans.
