Summary/Abstract: Fredric JAMESON, Inventions of a Present. The Novel in Its Crisis of Globalization, Verso, 2024, ISBN-13: 978-1-80429-240-2, 264 p. - Renowned as a Marxist theorist and a key figure in Postmodernist theory, Fredric Jameson shows a different face of himself in one of his last book, Inventions of a Present: The Novel in Its Crisis of Globalization, published by Verso in May 2024. A collection of essays on novels, ranging from the works of Joseph Conrad and Henry James to those of Margaret Atwood and Karl Ove Knausgård, and brought together at Perry Anderson's suggestion, The Inventions of a Present... reveals a Jameson who is both a literary critic and a cultural and political theorist − two facets that rarely converged in his previous works.
