This book offers an analytical model for the interpretation of theory-aware novels - American, English, French, German, and Italian - from the past 50 years. Works discussed include Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, David Lodge's Small World, Ulrike Draesner's Dowry, Juli Zeh's Dark Matter and Laurent Binet's The 7th Function of Language. Erik Schilling shows how these works not only incorporate elements of theory in a playful, inter-textual manner, but productively work with theory - for instance, by elaborating the complexities of the roles of author and reader or by confronting the quest for meaning with an infinite network of signs. Schilling argues that the novels do not merely adopt theory; they create theory-and this 'after theory' epoch, as Eagleton puts it, requires new forms of interpretation.
