Argues that contemporary fiction serves primarily as a therapeutic tool for lonely, dissatisfied middle-class readers, one that validates their own private dysfunctions while supporting elusive communities of strangers unified by shared feelings. Aubry persuasively makes the case that contemporary literature's persistent appeal depends upon its capacity to perform a therapeutic function.
