Many literary critics have argued that the majority of works within the genre of BrexLit primarily address this phenomenon from the British perspective, thus portraying its consequences only for the UK (mostly England) and British characters. I contend that A Stranger City is quite different from these works as it is concerned with the manifold experiences of various European citizens set in London against a background of xenophobia, nationalism and political tensions. Drawing on the tools provided by close reading, I will show how A Stranger City shows some narrative devices that characterise those newest fictions defined as fragmented narratives and networked novels in an attempt to identify the tensions between fragmentation and relationality that have been visible at a political and social level in the wake of Brexit. 2023-09-20T08:25:53Z 2023-09-20T08:25:53Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10991-023-09334-w https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/9113 en application/pdf Springer
