This highly original book explores whether globalisation might now be prompting a sub-genre of the novel adept at imagining global community.
While traditionally the novel has been seen as tracking the development of the nation state, Schoene queries if globalisation might currently be prompting the emergence of a new sub-genre of the novel that is adept at imagining global community. The book introduces a new generation of contemporary British writers (Rachel Cusk, Kiran Desai, Hari Kunzru, Jon McGregor and David Mitchell) whose work is read against that of established novelists Arundhati Roy, James Kelman and Ian McEwan. Each chapter explores a different theoretical key concept, including ''glocality'', ''glomicity'', ''tour du monde'', ''connectivity'' and ''compearance''.
