Tracing cosmopolitanism’s transition from universalism to vernacularism, the book opens up new avenues for reading cosmopolitan fiction by offering a precise and convenient set of terminology. The figure of the \u003ci\u003ecosmoflâneur\u003c\/i\u003e identifies a contemporary cosmopolitan character’s urban mobility and wandering consciousness in interaction with the global and the local. Posthuman cosmopolitanism also extends the meaning of cosmopolitan which comes to embrace the nonhuman alongside the human element.  Defining narrative glocality, political hyper-awareness, and narrative immediacy, the book thoroughly explores how cosmopolitan narration forges direct responses to the contemporary world in postmillennial cosmopolitan novels. All of these concepts are elaborated in Ian McEwan’s \u003ci\u003eSaturday\u003c\/i\u003e (2005), Zadie Smith’s \u003ci\u003eNW\u003c\/i\u003e (2012), Salman Rushdie’s \u003ci\u003eThe Golden House\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), and Kazuo Ishiguro’s \u003ci\u003eKlara and the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), to which world-engagement is central. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-11-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031449949\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-44995-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 235\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548866297996,"sku":"9783031449949","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031449949.jpg?v=1776090440","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031449949","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
