The collection tackles a diverse range of topics-modern updates to the marriage plot; fairy tale retellings in dystopian settings; stories of extrajudicial police killings and racial justice. The approaches are united, though, by a commitment to exploring the large-scale generic and theoretical structures at work in each set of texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a collection, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Blockbusters\u003c\/i\u003e is an exciting entryway into a field that continues to grow and change even as its works captivate massive audiences.
