From Behind the Scenes at the Museum to Big Sky, this book explores the major themes and formal concerns in Kate Atkinson’s fiction (history, memory, feminism, metafiction, genre revision). It situates Atkinson's œuvre in terms of an aesthetics of hydridity that runs through her eleven novels, one play and one collection of stories to date.
