Présentation : ill.en col. Format : 23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4725-7937-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fiction Résumé : Ancient Greek Myth in World Fiction since 1989 explores the diverse ways that contemporary world fiction has engaged with ancient Greek myth. Whether as a framing device, or a filter, or via resonances and parallels, Greek myth has proven fruitful for many writers of fiction since the end of the Cold War.

The modern fiction covered is as varied as the acclaimed North American television series The Wire, contemporary Arab fiction, the Japanese novels of Haruki Murakami and the works of New Zealand's foremost Maori writer, Witi Ihimaera Ancient greek myth in world fiction since 1989 [texte imprimé] / McConnell,Justine . - London : Bloomsbury Academic, 2016 . - 273P. : ill.en col. ; 23cm.

Présentation : ill.en col. Format : 23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4411-9019-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fiction Résumé : Contemporary writers such as Peter Ackroyd, J.G. Ballard, John King, Ian McEwan, Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Zadie Smith have been registering the changes to the social and cultural London landscape for years. This volume brings together their vivid representations of the capital. Uniting the readings are themes such as relationship between the country and the city; the capacity of satirical forms to encompass the 'real London'; spatio-temporal transformations and emergences; the relationship between multiculturalism and universalism; the underground as the spatial equivalent of London's unconsciousness and the suburbs as the frontier of the future. The volume creates a framework for new approaches to the representation of London required by the unprecedented social uncertainties of recent years: an invaluable contribution to studies of contemporary writing about London.
