The widespread use of electronic communication at the dawn of the
twenty-first century has created a global context for our
interactions, transforming the ways we relate to the world and to
one another. This critical introduction reads the fiction of the
past decade as a response to our contemporary predicament one that
draws on new cultural and technological developments to challenge
established notions of democracy, humanity, and national and global
sovereignty. Peter Boxall traces formal and thematic similarities
in the novels of contemporary writers including Don DeLillo,
Margaret Atwood, J. M. Coetzee, Marilynne Robinson, Cormac
McCarthy, W. G. Sebald, and Philip Roth, as well as David Mitchell,
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dave Eggers, Ali Smith, Amy Waldman, and
Roberto Bolano. In doing so, Boxall maps new territory for
scholars, students, and interested readers of today's literature by
exploring how these authors narrate shared cultural life in the new
century."
