Produktbeschreibung

This book develops a new theory of the novel for the twenty-first century. In the works of writers such as J. M. Coetzee, Rachel Cusk, James Kelman, W. G. Sebald, and Zadie Smith, Timothy Bewes identifies a mode of thought that he calls â free indirect,â in which the novelâ s refusal of prevailing ideologies can be found.
