The Poetics of Genre in the Contemporary Novel investigates the
role of genre in the contemporary novel: taking its departure from
the observation that numerous contemporary novelists make use of
popular genre influences in what are still widely considered to be
literary novels, it sketches the uses, the work, and the value of
genre. It suggests the value of a critical look at texts' genre use
for an analysis of the contemporary moment. From this, it develops
a broader perspective, suggesting the value of genre criticism and
taking into view traditional genres such as the bildungsroman and
the metafictional novel as well as the kinds of amalgamated forms
which have recently come to prominence. In essays discussing a wide
range of authors from Steven Hall to Bret Easton Ellis to Colson
Whitehead, the contributors to the volume develop their own
readings of genre's work and valence in the contemporary novel.
