This book offers a lively overview of London suburban fiction over the last
180
years. Close
readings and discussion of work by Dickens, the
Grossmith
brothers, H. G.Wells, and on through
Orwell, Stevie Smith, V. S. Naipaul and Zadie Smith, provide a comprehensive account of key
recurring fictional approaches and themes. Suburban fiction highlights the complex connections
between place and writing, and focusses on the activities individuals necessarily undertake to
make place legible and habitable. Much fiction, looking in at the suburbs from without, anxiously
tends to present the popular mass suburb as comprising a key set of problems associated with
modernity: as being unknown and unknowable, as soullessly repetitive and empty, as lacking
familiar co-ordinates of specific location and cultural tradition. This book explores why the
suburb, in much fiction, is seen to fail in its primary function of offering a knowable, habitable
landscape, a home, or even a tenable sense of identity. It argues that fiction itself is profoundly
implicated in the conception and meaning of place.
