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.
Through consideration of, among other things, the treatment of
neuroscience, violence, the historical and youth subcultures in
recent fiction, the essays in this collection explore the complex
and still powerful relation between the novel and the world in
which it is written, published and read. This major literary
assessment of the fiction of the 2000s covers the work of newer
voices such as Monica Ali, Mark Haddon, Tom McCarthy, David Peace
and Zadie Smith as well as those more established, such as Salman
Rushdie, Hilary Mantel and Ian McEwan making it an essential
contribution to reading, defining and understanding the decade.
