The Annual Robert C. Elliott Lecture - Gordon Hutner: The 21st Century U.S. Novel: An Anatomy
This talk explores the dominant developments in the 21st century American novel as an exercise in precanonization. It examines how the novel arrays itself in this first long decade and the vision of the US that its various categories impart. This “anatomy” entails our most distinguished authors as well as those only now emerging into prominence, along with novels by writers who reputations are not yet secure. The talk aims to provide the ground from which future literary and cultural historians may understand what pour contemporary moment thought it was doing and what that means for the present.
