Several of American literature's most prominent authors, and many
of their most perceptive critics and reviewers, argue that fiction
of the last quarter century has turned away from the tendencies of
postmodernist writing. Yet, the nature of that turn, and the
defining qualities of American fiction after postmodernism, remain
less than clear. This volume identifies four prominent trends of
the contemporary scene: the recovery of the real, a rethinking of
historical engagement, a preoccupation with materiality, and a turn
to the planetary. Readings of works by various leading figures,
including Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, A.M. Homes, Lance Olsen,
Richard Powers, William T. Vollmann, and David Foster Wallace,
support a variety of arguments about this recent revitalization of
American literature. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the journal Textual Practice.
