In the twenty-first century, leading publishers are under intense
pressure from their conglomerate owners and shareholders to
generate growth and profits. This book shows how these pressures
have transformed the contemporary novel. Paul Crosthwaite argues
that recent British and American authors have internalized the
market logics of the financial sector and book trade, resulting in
the production of works of 'market metafiction' in which authors
reflect obsessively on their writing's positioning in the literary
marketplace. The Market Logics of Contemporary Fiction reveals the
entanglement of fictional narrative and market dynamics to be the
central phenomenon of contemporary literary culture. It engages
with work by key authors including Iain Sinclair, Don DeLillo,
Kathy Acker, Bret Easton Ellis, Chris Kraus, Percival Everett,
David Foster Wallace, Colson Whitehead, Anne Billson, Hari Kunzru,
Barbara Browning, Teju Cole, Ben Lerner, Tao Lin, Nell Zink, Joshua
Cohen, Sheila Heti, and Garth Risk Hallberg.
