This social/literary study deals with a number of current novelists, including Roth, Delillo, Heller, Gaddis, Barth, Lurie, Mailer, Kozinski, Barthelme, Pynchon, Bellow, and Coover. Because the way we live today has altered the novelist's traditional method of 'holding up a mirror to nature,' and has caused a number of them to turn to fantasy and fabulation, the author feels that many of our best-known novelists are virtually incapable of assessing the realities of modern society.
