520    What does it mean to call something "contemporary"? More 
       than simply denoting what's new, it speaks to how we come 
       to know the present we're living in and how we develop a 
       shared story about it. The story of trying to understand 
       the present is an integral, yet often unnoticed, part of 
       the literature and film of our moment. In Contemporary 
       Drift, Theodore Martin argues that the contemporary is not
       just a historical period but also a conceptual problem, 
       and he claims that contemporary genre fiction offers a 
       much-needed resource for resolving that problem. 
       Contemporary Drift combines a theoretical focus on the 
       challenge of conceptualizing the present with a historical
       account of contemporary literature and film. Emphasizing 
       both the difficulty and the necessity of historicizing the
       contemporary, the book explores how recent works of 
       fiction depict life in an age of global capitalism, 
       postindustrialism, and climate change. Through new 
       histories of the novel of manners, film noir, the Western,
       detective fiction, and the postapocalyptic novel, Martin 
       shows how the problem of the contemporary preoccupies a 
       wide range of novelists and filmmakers, including Zadie 
       Smith, Colson Whitehead, Vikram Chandra, China Miéville, 
       Kelly Reichardt, and the Coen brothers. Martin argues that
       genre provides these artists with a formal strategy for 
       understanding both the content and the concept of the 
       contemporary. Genre writing, with its mix of old and new, 
       brings to light the complicated process by which we make 
       sense of our present and determine what belongs to our 
       time.
