Contemporary Fiction by Robert Eaglestone

A concise guide to recent developments in the modern novel, explaining how contemporary writers use formal experimentation—fragmentation, metafiction, multiple perspectives and genre blending—to address issues like memory, trauma, migration, identity and postcoloniality. It shows how these works engage with history, politics, ethics and globalization, reshape readers’ expectations of narrative and form, and debate the novel’s role in reflecting and critiquing social realities.
