    摘要、提要註: This book argues for the ethical relevancy of contemporary fiction at the beginning of the 21st century. The writers discussed in Contemporary Fiction and the Ethics of Modern Culture pay closeattention to theconcrete realities of the everyday world, such as the feelings of isolation createdin urban environments; the roles played by sports, drugs,advertising, and the media; and the widespread use of computer, telecommunication, and entertainment technologies. Through reading novels by such writers as David Foster Wallace, Richard Powers, and Irvine Welsh,this book looks at how these works seek to transform the ways that readers live in the world. This book should appeal to scholars ofcontemporary literature, persons interested in cultural studies, critics interested in ethics, scholars of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, studentsof contemporary literature, and general readersofcontemporary literature.
