Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Fiction in the 70s brought a return to old-fashioned storytelling. The seventies also saw the decline of previously well-respected writers, such as Saul Bellow and Peter De Vries. Racism remained a key literary subject in this era and John Updike emerged as a major literary figure. Criminal non-fiction also became a popular topic. The horror genre also emerged, and by the late seventies Stephen King had become one of the most popular genre novelists. Learn more about the literary history of the 70s including the prominent authors of fiction and nonfiction books, and about the literary works from 1970 to 1979.
