The main objective of this book is to explain how contemporary literatures in Spanish and Portuguese are dealing with artistic creativity when artmaking is no longer a specialised field of cultural production, but rather an expanded field of socioeconomic interaction, personal and creative self-definition and collective imagination. The project positions the contemporary art novel as the most suitable place to understand how the economisation of cultural labour is affecting writers and artists alike. The authors examined in this book, including José Saramago, Rita Indiana Hernández, María Gainza, Mayra Santos Febres and Ondjaki (amongst others) explore the contradictions of the art market, the dynamics of art education, the multifaceted activity of curators and socially engaged artists in relation to broader debates on the role of culture in the configuration of socioeconomic dynamics. The book maps a new trend within contemporary literature that taps into the visual art system to reassess the role of literature in critical ways.

An unprecedented study of the art novel’s fascination with the convergence of art and life in our times, when to live like an artist can mean to barely scrape by on contingent work in informal economies, but also to devote oneself to fathoming and fabricating a world beyond privation. With remarkable global breadth, and one wary eye always fixed on art’s incorporation into global capitalism, Carlos Garrido Castellano has written an indispensable book about how literature envisions the unfulfilled promise of artmaking as a model for a flourishing life.- Sarah Brouillette, Carleton University
