State of the Nation (Part 6 of 'The Guardian's 1000 Novels Everyone Should Read')

"All the books listed here address social questions or political changes - they think about the way we live now. These books are about the state of nations in every continent, and they prove that the best fiction isn't lofty and interior, set apart from contemporary reality, but is about facts and ideas and what's happening in the world." (Guardian)
