Sinopsis

?The novel is dead” was the cry of the 1960s, and so it was as an authoritative report concerning the world; but from that death, Klinkowitz argues, arose a form of writing that celebrates the crea­tive process, a narrative that is not about something but is something.

 

Klinkowitz first characterizes the ?modern” fiction of the earlier 20th cen­tury wherein the word fades into the background because the story line forms the essence of the fiction. Thus the word is ?self-effacing.” Postmodern fiction, on the other hand, features the word. Words in postmodern fiction are opaque, not transparent. Of necessity we notice the word and must look closely at it; thus the word becomes ?self-apparent.”
