Reference Reviews <!--end-->
"James English's companion contains a series of fresh, lively
and insightful readings of the key figures in post-war British
fiction from Martin Amis to Zadie Smith. Its coverage of the
multiple, changing contexts - from globalization and the 'new
ethnicities' to the rise of book groups and online retailing - in
which that fiction is produced and consumed is generously
wide-ranging and satisfyingly informative. This is an authoritative
and approachable book." Michael Greaney, Lancaster
University
“James English's A Concise Companion to Contemporary British Fiction is a valuable addition to discussions of recent writing. The essays collected here are wide-ranging, well-informed, and critically astute. This book will make a strong contribution to our understanding of the contemporary British novel.” Andrzej Gasiorek, University of Birmingham
