Summary:
"Offers new readings of the works of Kamila Shamsie, Aleksandar Hemon, Mark Haddon, Lance Olsen, Steve Tomasula, Jonathan Safran Foer, and others to examine how twenty-first-century multimodal fiction both reflects historical beliefs about how minds work and participates in their reappraisal, offering insights into literary imagination's influence on how we think and perceive amid twenty-first-century social, technological, and environmental changes"-- Provided by publisher.
