Contemporary Literature and the End of the Novel: Creature, Affect, Form

By Pieter Vermeulen

Book Overview

This book explores the paradoxical productivity of the idea of the end of the novel in contemporary fiction. It shows how this idea allows some of our most significant twenty-first century writers to re-imagine the ethics and politics of literature and to figure intractable forms of life and affect.
