520 | _aBuilding on both established and emerging discussions of literature and finance, 'Finance Fictions' takes the measure of the tension between psychosis and realism in the contemporary finance novel. Revisiting such twentieth-century classics of the genre as Tom Wolfe's 'The Bonfire of the Vanities' and Bret Easton Ellis's 'American Psycho', this text considers that the twenty-first-century is witnessing the birth of a new kind of finance novel that in the face of an ongoing economic crisis, ever more frequent market crashes, and the politics of austerity, pursues a more realist approach to the actual workings of the economy. | ||
