Abstract

Each chapter in this collection explores the challenge posed to science fiction, literary fiction and contemporary ideas through Roberts’s novels. His use of the science fiction toolkit combined with his sharp and sometimes lyrical prose blurs the distinction that some would wish to maintain between science fiction and mainstream literature.

KeywordsLiterature; British Fiction; Contemporary Fiction; Science Fiction; Literary Criticism
