Retroland : a reader's guide to the dazzling diversity of modern fiction
Kemp, Peter2023
Books
Over the past fifty years, fiction in English has never looked more various. Books bulkier than Victorian three-deckers appear alongside works of minimalist brevity, and experiments with form have produced everything from verse novels to Twitter-thread narratives. This is truly a golden age. But what unites this kaleidoscopic array of genres and styles? Celebrated writer and critic Peter Kemp traces the novelistic preoccupation with history, from the imperial and the political to the personal and the literary.
