Jon McGregor --Notes --Index. 330 8 $aThis work offers readings of five of the most interesting and original voices to have emerged in Britain since the millennium as they tackle the challenges of portraying the new century. Through close readings of the work of Ali Smith, Andrew O'Hagan, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Hall and Jon McGregor, Daniel Lea opens a window onto the formal and thematic concerns that characterise a literary landscape troubled by both familiar and unfamiliar predicaments. These include questions about the meaning of humanness in an age of digital intercourse; about the need for a return to authenticity in the wake of postmodernism; and about the dislocation of self from the other under neoliberal individualism. 410 0$aManchester Spenser. 606 $aEnglish fiction 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Studies: From C 1900 -$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisach 606 $aIreland$2thema 610 $aAli Smith. 610 $aAndrew O'Hagan. 610 $aAuthenticity. 610 $aConnectivity. 610 $aContemporary British Fiction. 610 $aJon McGregor. 610 $aMateriality. 610 $aSarah Hall. 610 $aTom McCarthy. 610 $aTwenty-First Century Literature. 615 0$aEnglish fiction. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterary Studies: From C 1900 - 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh 615 7$aIreland 676 $a823.9209 700 $aLea$b Daniel$01530625 702 $aLea$b Daniel 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792650203321 996 $aTwenty-first-century fiction$93775804 997 $aUNINA
