How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during the
2000s shape contemporary British Fiction? The means of publishing,
buying and reading fiction changed dramatically between 2000 and
2010. This volume explores how the socio-political and economic
turns of the decade, bookended by the beginning of a millennium and
an economic crisis, transformed the act of writing and reading.
Detailed chapters look at the writers tracing and shaping the
limits of being human through neurological fiction. Attention is
given to the reinvigoration of psychogeography as a genre, dealing
with the concerns of living in a virtual and globalized world, as
well as the effects of reading groups and literary prizes and the
reworking of fact and fiction in historical novels. This major
literary assessment of the fiction of the 2000s covers the work of
new voices such as Monica Ali, Mark Haddon, Tom McCarthy and Zadie
Smith as well as Salman Rushdie, John Banville and Ian McEwan
making it an essential contribution to reading, defining and
understanding a decade marked by anxieties.
