Contemporary American Fiction: An Introduction to American Fiction since 1970. Kenneth Millard. Oxford University Press. [pound]9.99 p.b. 328 pages. ISBN 0-19-871178-6.
Kenneth Millard has achieved something quite staggering: he has written a survey of modern American fiction which is very nearly comprehensive. Anyone interested in this writing will know exactly how diverse the subject is, ranging from Chicano writing in the Mexican border areas to new post modern inner city fiction. Any writer attempting to draw together dominant themes and preoccupations from this diversity has to have an organising principle, and Mr Millard's is admirably clear and useful.
