Postmodernism, Twenty-First Century Culture, and American Fiction: Establishing the Continuum

This book interrogates the discontinuous ripples of postmodernism within post-Cold War American literature and culture. The persistence of postmodern aesthetics within this period of succession underpins a reframing of what it means to come ’after’ postmodernism, foregrounding an overlooked strand of American writing.
