Contemporary popular music provides the soundtrack for a host of
recent novels, but little critical attention has been paid to the
intersection of these important art forms. "Write in Tune"
addresses this gap by offering the first full-length study of the
relationship between recent music and fiction. With essays from an
array of international scholars, the collection focuses on how
writers weave rock, punk, and jazz into their narratives, both to
develop characters and themes and to investigate various fan and
celebrity cultures surrounding contemporary music. "Write in Tune"
covers major writers from America and England, including Don
DeLillo, Jonathan Franzen, Zadie Smith, and Jim Crace. But it also
explores how popular music culture is reflected in postcolonial,
Latino, and Australian fiction. Ultimately, the book brings
critical awareness to the power of music in shaping contemporary
culture, and offers new perspectives on central issues of gender,
race, and national identity.
