Collage in Twenty-First-Century Literature in English

Collage in Twenty-First-Century Literature in English: Art of Crisis considers the phenomenon of the continued relevance of collage a form established over a hundred years ago to contemporary literature. It argues that collage is a perfect artistic vehicle to represent the crisis-ridden reality of the twenty-first-century. Being a mixture of fragmentary incompatible voices collage embodies the chaos of the media-dominated world. Examining the artistic sociopolitical and personal crises addressed in contemporary collage literature the book argues that the 21st Century has brought a revival of collage-like novels and essays.
