Meanwhile, Scotland itself refuses to conform to external notions of what it is, and what it can become. The literature of this post-devolution nation comes in a multitude of voices. The Space of Fiction examines how Scottish writers have responded to, and been affected by, the nation's ongoing political discourse. Examining in detail the works of Des Dillon, Anne Donovan, Michel Faber, Laura Hird, Alison Miller, Ewan Morrison, James Robertson, Suhayl Saadi, Zoe ÌStrachan and their contemporaries, The Space of Fiction traces their multifarious approaches to a post-national, cosmopolitan, multicultural and even globalised Scotland, and explores their notions of space, of place, and of the nature of identity."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-202) and index. 505 0 $a Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Millennium babes : female urban voices after James Kelman and Irvine Welsh : Laura Hird, Anne Donovan, Zoe ÌStrachan and Alison Miller -- Female crime fiction : the space of transgression -- James Robertson : the contagion of history -- Suhayl Saadi : the third space of fiction -- Ewan Morrison : the non-place of fiction -- The confines of the human : shorter fiction by Michel Faber, Des Dillon, Suhayl Saadi, Ewan Morrison and Scotland into the new era -- Conclusion. 600 10 $a Strachan, ZoeÌ. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a English fiction $x Scottish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910856 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 651 0 $a Scotland $x In literature. 651 7 $a Scotland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206715 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021247.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3207972086E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
