What is happening to the novel in the face of the crisis of globalization? Why can't the literature of recent decades speak the same language?
In his latest book, Fredric Jameson reflects on the novels of dozens of authors and discusses writers as such—from Joseph Conrad and Vasily Grossman to Gabriel García Márquez and Margaret Atwood. For Jameson, the novel is not so much a reflection of reality as a tool for capturing the profound contradictions of the era of late capitalism.
Jamieson reinvents the form of the historical novel, developing his own method of "materialist formalism," which helps us imagine writers from a wide range of countries and eras as inventors of a "present" that no longer exists, but in which we all must live.
