This book approaches contemporary narratives of care through the lens of a growing body of theoretical writings on biopolitics. Through close-readings of J.M. Coetzee's Slow Man, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Paul Auster's The Book of Illusions, and Tom McCarthy's Remainder, it seeks to reframe debates about realism in the novel ranging from Ian Watt to Zadie Smith as engagements with the novel's biopolitical origins: its relation to pastoral care, the camps, and the welfare state. Within such an understanding of the novel, what possibilities for a critical aesthetics of existence does the contemporary novel include?"--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aBiopolitics 606 $aEthics in literature 606 $aFiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary theory 615 0$aBiopolitics. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3/051 700 $aDe Boever$b Arne$01122328 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812249103321 996 $aNarrative care$94095572 997 $aUNINA
