An introduction to the rapidly growing category of New Adult (NA)
literature, this text provides a roadmap to understanding and
introducing NA books to young people in high school, college,
libraries, and other settings. As a window into the experiences and
unique challenges that young and new adults encounter, New Adult
literature intersects with but is distinct from Young Adult
literature. This rich resource provides a framework, methods, and
plentiful reading recommendations by genre, theme, and discipline
on New Adult literature. Starting with a definition of New Adult
literature, Kane demonstrates how the inclusion of NA literature
helps support and encourage a love of reading. Chapters address
important topics that are relevant to young people, including
post-high school life, early careers, relationships, activism, and
social change. Each chapter features text sets, instructional
strategies, writing prompts, and activities to invite and encourage
young people to be reflective and engaged in responding to
thought-provoking texts. A welcome text for professors of literacy
and literature instruction, first-year college instructors,
researchers, librarians, and educators, this book provides new ways
to assist students as they embark upon the next stage of their
lives and is essential reading for courses on teaching literature.
