Writers like J.M. Coetzee, Teju Cole, and Tom McCarthy disturb the emotional scenarios through which the novel form traditionally operates in order to figure unregimented forms of life and affect. Contemporary Literature and the End of the Novel combines intense discussions of key contemporary works and of theories of the novel with original interventions in current critical and theoretical debates--about affect, the anthropocene, biopolitics, cosmopolitanism, and about the forms and functions of fiction after 9/11 and after postmodernism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: After-Affects -- Persistent Affect (Tom McCarthy, David Shields, Lars Iyer) -- Abandoned Creatures (J.M.
