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.Magdalena Sawa and Joanna Klara Teske analyze how various theories of metamodernism apply to fiction and how close readings of contemporary fiction encourage readers to critically engage with this cultural phenomena. Beginning with an introduction to the key aspects of metamodernism, this collection examines postmodernism, postcolonialism, and ecology through a metamodernist lens while observing metamodernist attitudes toward human experience, sensibility, and the use of antimimetic narrative strategies. Literary Manifestations of Metamodernism allows for a new appreciation of various aspects of contemporary fiction – such as its thematics (e.g. the real, ecology, ethical concern with social justice and care) and its form (e.g. use of magic realism, complex narrative structure, autofiction)–while reinforcing metamodernism as a promising phenomenon that takes advantage of postmodern heritage while surpassing it to explore the responsibility humans bear for socially-constructed reality.
