Becoming World: Probing Hybridity in Postmodern American Fiction

Becoming World: Probing Hybridity in Postmodern American Fiction provides a particularly creative and wide–ranging set of lenses on contemporary U.S. fiction, which in turn should inspire more critical inquiries on the subject. The book convincingly demonstrates that our own era is marked by literary eclectism; hybrid fictions employ a wide variety of approaches, present conflicting viewpoints, and blend media and technological forms.
