Text Quotes
Contemporary fiction is the hardest for me because I am not really in the popular culture - I don’t watch TV. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
While I love to read contemporary fiction, I’m not drawn to writing it. Perhaps it’s because the former journalist in me is too inhibited by the press of reality; when I think about writing of my own time I always think about nonfiction narratives. Or perhaps it’s just that I find the present too confounding. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Most contemporary fiction sucks. It’s intellectually dishonest, often morally dishonest. It’s cheap and easy. It pretends to be deep but is really quite shallow. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
The writing you allude to is a form of dissent, but it’s also expressive of the need to evolve beyond what is turgid and stale in contemporary fiction. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I think the anti-intellectualism of a lot of contemporary fiction is a kind of despairing of literature’s ability to be anything more than perfectly bound blog posts or transcribed sitcoms. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Anyway I read more contemporary poetry than contemporary fiction so my mind goes first to a kind of crass conceptualism that repeats vanguard gestures of the past minus the politics and historical context. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Barack Obama is an elegant and literate man with a cosmopolitan sense of the world. He is widely read in philosophy, literature, and history - as befits a former law professor - and he has shown time and again a surprising interest in contemporary fiction. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
An elegantly crafted novel, The Reluctant First Lady clearly documents author Venita Ellick as an exceptionally accomplished writer able to skillfully weave memorable characters into a riveting story line from beginning to end. As engaging as it is entertaining, The Reluctant First Lady is highly recommended for both personal reading lists and community library contemporary fiction collections. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I know I’m a rare person, a trained scientist who writes fiction, because so few contemporary novelists engage with science. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I don’t like to read contemporary fiction while writing - I need a sense of isolation, a kind of silence, and I don’t want a jumble of other people’s voices or visions getting in my way. Nineteenth-century voices don’t create static in that silence. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
All the pictures I do are contemporary. I’ve sort of discovered I haven’t really been into science fiction or period pictures. And so, in that vein, psychological thrillers play a big part. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Whenever I read a contemporary literary novel that describes the world we’re living in, I wait for the science fiction tools to come out. Because they have to - the material demands it. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Obviously, I love to do both contemporary and historical fiction. When a hint of a story grabs me, I try to go with it to see where it will take me whatever the setting. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
For its speculations to be taken seriously, dystopian fiction must be part of a discussion of contemporary society, a projection of ongoing political failures perhaps, or the wringing of present jeopardy for future disaster. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Oddly enough, my favorite genre is not fiction. I’m attracted by primary sources that are relevant to historical questions of interest to me, by famous old books on philosophy or theology that I want to see with my own eyes, by essays on contemporary science, by the literatures of antiquity. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It’s very contemporary. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I read a ton of fiction - historical, contemporary, literary, commercial, I love it all (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
...Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by the folk. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I don’t know what issues concerning identity have helped contemporary fiction evolve to what it is now. All I know is that the range of voices that are being heard and published is a lot more diverse than when I was coming up. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
The British and American literary worlds operate in an odd kind of symbiosis: our critics think our contemporary novelists are not the stuff of greatness whereas certain contemporary Americans indubitably are. Their critics often advance the exact opposite: British fiction is cool, American naff (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
American Morons is the work of an original. Like Hitchcock or Ramsey Campbell, the style is precise, alert, and well-mannered, inviting us to enter Hirshberg’s private world so that he may lock the door behind us. If there is anyone in contemporary fiction worth watching, it is Glen Hirshberg (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Intensely moving but never sentimental, Academy Street is a profound meditation on what Faulkner called ‘the human heart in conflict with itself’. In Tess Lohan, Mary Costello has created one of the most fully realized characters in contemporary fiction. What a marvel of a book (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the ‘historic fiction’ category. Science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though I have greatly enjoyed some of the work of Ursula LeGuin. I haven’t read much science fiction so I don’t know other sci-fi authors (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Aimee Parkison offers a distinct new voice to contemporary fiction. Her seductive stories explore childhood as a realm of sorrows, and reveal the afflictions of adults who emerge from this private geography (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Jax Cassidy is a brilliant new voice in contemporary fiction. Full of heat, seduction, and romance, her winning characters are sure to capture your heart and find a place on your keeper shelf (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
It’s not just what Christian fiction lacks I appreciate - it’s what it offers. The variety is vast: contemporary, historical, suspense, mysteries, adventure, young adult, romance, fantasy, science fiction (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I started reading contemporary fiction in college or right after college. It wasn’t as if I was steeped in experimental minimalism when I was twelve or something. I was reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
The main advantage of being a reviewer is that you read a lot. A lot of books get sent to you, and you have an amazing vantage point from which to observe what’s going on in contemporary fiction - not only genre stuff, the whole spectrum (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
Most of my writer friends are women, and they’re all extremely talented, so of course I think the state of contemporary fiction for women is pretty great. Which is to say there is a ton of amazing work out there. These women are writing hard. There’s much to be said. We’re on it, chief. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
I spend my life writing fiction, so reading fiction isn’t much of an escape. That’s not always true, but I don’t read much contemporary fiction. (Contemporary Fiction Quotes)
