The global novel

Adam Kirsch's The Global Novel examines how prominent 21st-century authors like Orhan Pamuk, Haruki Murakami, and Margaret Atwood portray an interconnected world. This work explores how contemporary novelists use subjects such as climate change and genetic engineering to address enduring human concerns like morality and love. Kirsch argues that the global novel is not a simplistic commercial product, but rather a vital means for writers to explore the human condition anew.
