Bibliography
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Description
Excerpts from novels by writers, giving their comments on what they wanted to achieve. For example, in How to Tell a True War Story, a novel on the horror and grandeur of war, Tim O'Brien sought "to arrive at some kind of spiritual truth that one can't discover simply by recording the world-as-it-is."
Description
"The editors' lucid Introduction sets the backdrop of profound political, technological, and cultural change in postwar America that gave rise to postmodern fiction. Section introductions and brief author headnotes frame the selections. A final section, 'A Casebook of Postmodern Theory,' opens up the complicated relationship between postmodern fiction and literary theory."--Back cover.
