The last decade has, it seems, been dominated by one kind of crisis and another—babyֱ��app, social, cultural, and ecological. In these years we have seen neoliberalism fall into a crisis of legitimacy, the rise of social media, endless wars in the middle east, the destruction of democratic norms and rising disbelief in the political process, and, insistently, the evidence of climate catastrophe. How has American fiction spoken of these crises? How have contemporary writers enlisted different subgenres? How have they shaped and deformed narrative? Novelists we will address include: Jesmyn Ward, Blake Butler, B.R. Yeager, Jesse Ball, Ling Ma, and Kathryn Davis. Reading journal, essays, presentation.
