Abstract

The first decade of the twenty-first century has been marked by a “revival” of the genre of the parody novel, which manifested itself in the publication of a series of books poking fun at the most famous bestsellers of the recent years. This paper examines the specific features of contemporary parody novels, considers the functions they perform in the social context of popular fiction and tries to account for the proliferation of the parody novel genre in the present historical moment described as the age of globalization.
