It focuses on the fiction that has emerged since the late 1970s, roughly since the start of the Thatcher era. It comprises original essays from major scholars. Topics range from the rise and fall of the post colonial novel to controversies over the celebrity author. The emphasis is on the whole fiction scene, from bookstores and prizes to the changing economics of film adaptation.
