The modern generational novel typically extends across at least three generations and presents the main characters in a flexible narrative approach. These works of fiction document changing family systems, describe historical processes, and foster remembrance. This book documents the contemporary international trend toward this form of fiction and reflects the latest works and their major precursors in literary modernity.
