From Michel Houellebecq to Zadie Smith, from Javier Marías to Arnon Grunberg: this timely study takes its reader on a tour of European literature and the critical discussion around it. Despite recent declarations of postmodernism’s demise, contemporary literature turns out to be entangled in a discussion with postmodernism. It is time to critically evaluate this legacy.
