What is The Bloomsbury introduction to postmodern realist fiction : resisting master narratives about?

Postmodernist realism is a body of fiction that uses realism-disrupting literary techniques to make interventions into the real social conditions of our time. It seeks to capture the complex, fragmented nature of contemporary experience while addressing crucial issues like income inequality, immigration, the climate crisis, terrorism, ever-changing technologies, shifting racial, sex and gender roles, and the rise of new forms of authoritarianism. A lucid, comprehensive introduction to the genre as well as to a wide variety of voices, this book discusses more than 50 writers from a diverse range of backgrounds and over several decades with special attention to 21st century novels. Writers covered include: Sherman Alexie, Margaret Atwood, Paul Auster, J.G. Ballard, Octavia Butler, Angela Carter, Don DeLillo, Junot Diaz, Dave Eggers, Bret Easton Ellis, Louise Erdrich, John Fowles, Jonathan Franzen, William Gibson, Alan Hollinghurst, Maxine Hong Kingston, Ursula Le Guin, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, China Mieville, David Mitchell, Alan Moore, Toni Morrison, Vladimir Nabokov, Michael Ondaatje, Richard Powers, Thomas Pynchon, Salman Rushdie, Leslie Marmon Silko, Zadie Smith, Art Spiegelman,
