Explores the idea of critical modesty in twenty-first-century fiction and criticism, with a focus on works by Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, J.M. Coetzee, and David Mitchell, to show that attitudes of acceptance, compromise, limitation, and entanglement become crucial means of minor, yet significant, intervention in the world.
