Bourdeau and Lloyd's expertly compiled volume provides a compassionate, capacious and complex analysis of the over-discussed but under-analysed concept of the millennial and its relationship to long-form fiction. Taking the term as a marketing and generational provocation, it boldly expands our understanding of the millennial's potential and limitations.--Rachel Sykes, University of Birmingham
