Abstract

This chapter examines recent fiction of the US West as a site for the consequences of exceptionalism and closed borders in the Trump Era. As America turned inwards, so much western fiction seemed to reengage imaginatively with the world, challenging the dark side of globalization-as-reductionism. Consequently, the West is envisioned as a more diverse and relational space than its myths so often portray.
