Recent trends in literary study have tended to place socio-political questions at the centre of their analysis. In these debates, questions of labour and work have remained somewhat limited. This timely new book explores the way in which recent fiction has represented work and workers, revealing trends within the fictional presentations of work in contemporary world literature. Exploring texts by writers such as Ian McEwan, Douglas Coupland, Joshua Ferris and Aravind Adiga, amongst others, this is an important intervention into debates about contemporary literature's visions of neoliberalism.
