Synopsis "Designs of Darkness in Contemporary American Fiction (Penn Studies in Contemporary American Fiction) "

In Designs of Darkness, Arthur M. Saltzman examines some of the ways in which fiction has traditionally conspired to promote a goal-oriented vision of the work of art—and explores the ways in which postmodern (or postrealist) fiction consistently and unavoidably subverts the clarity of this vision. Offering readings of works by well-known authors, including Barthelme, Doctorow, DeLillo, and Hakes, as well as works by lesser-known writers (Auster, Gangemi), Saltzman concentrates on the breakdown of epiphany in recent fiction, both as philosophical motive and as structural foundation.In contemporary fiction, Saltzman contends, ambiguities blossom far beyond our capacities to stabilize, summarize, or restore them to sense. The old rules of the game—in which a reader looking for truth can expect come sort of satisfactory resolution—no longer apply. Literature now comes out of the answerless.Designs of Darkness in Contemporary American Fiction is a valuable new resource for scholars and students of contemporary literature.
