Summary: Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries - realists of a larger reality. . . .It is a manual for investigating the depth and breadth of con-temporary fiction - and, through the lens of deep considerations of contemporary writing, a way of exploring the world we are all living in.
