Unorthodox Minds in Contemporary Fiction seeks to provide an overview of the ways in which broadly understood contemporary fiction envisions, explores and engenders minds going beyond the classical models. The opening essay discusses the complex relationships between such innovative concepts of the mind and experimental techniques for presenting mentality. The chapters which follow focus on (dis)embodied and/or extended mind, virtuality of avatar minds, intermental thought of reader communities, the capability of artificial intelligence (and humans) for genuine selfless love, the interplay between technology and affect in posthuman consciousness. The books under discussion include Murmur by Will Eaves, The Unfortunates by B.S. Johnson, The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, H(A)PPY by Nicola Barker and Machines Like Me by Ian McEwan. A piece of conceptual fiction by Steve Tomasula, one of the most innovative American novelists of our times, exploring the human mind’s alleged power to transcend its biological limits, complements these scholarly inquiries.

A collection of literary essays investigating how diverse aspects of metamodernism manifest in 21st-century English-language fiction.The authors whose essays are collected in the volume analyze how various theories of metamodernism apply to contemporary fiction and thereby encourage readers to critically engage with this cultural phenomenon.The collection opens with a discussion of the original construal of metamodernism proposed by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker and its subsequent development by other theorists, and closes with two polemical essays asking questions about the name and status of the new cultural movement as well as its relation to postmodernism – its direct predecessor. Literary Manifestations of Metamodernism allows for a new appreciation of various aspects of contemporary fiction – such as its thematics (e.g. ethical concern with social justice and care, ecology, the real, the sense of engagement) and its form (e.g. metafiction, complex narrative structure, autofiction, hopeful tone)–while reinforcing metamodernism as a promising phenomenon that takes advantage of postmodern heritage yet surpasses it to explore the responsibility humans bear for socially-constructed reality.
