Download or read book An Introduction to Contemporary American Fiction written by Alan Bilton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2003-03 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don DeLillo, Paul Auster, Cormac McCarthy, Rolando Hinojosa, E. Annie Proulx, Bret Easton Ellis, Douglas Coupland, and Thomas Pynchon: An Introduction to Contemporary American Fiction introduces the work of a range of key American authors, all of whom can be said to engage with postmodernism. Exploring the vitality and energy of contemporary writing in light of pessimistic proclamations on the state of postmodern American culture, Bilton highlights the tension between "realistic" description and linguistic self-consciousness in contemporary fiction. In addition, by addressing a central problem in literary theory—its neglect of literary discussion and the practice of reading—An Introduction to Contemporary American Fiction is able to present a working model for reading a text theoretically. As an introductory text, it assumes no prior knowledge of the authors of the novels discussed. To encourage understanding and aid further study, the following features are included: * GLOSSARY OF CRITICAL AND LITERARY TERMS * BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EACH AUTHOR'S WORKS * BIOGRAPHY OF EACH AUTHOR * GUIDE TO FURTHER READING * THEMATIC AND AUTHOR INDICES

Download or read book The Aryaman Trilogy written by Bina Saksena and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fantasy and the supernatural, mingle with down-to-earth exposition of human predicament and realism and surrealism meet in a daring union....." - Manoj Das, novelist, Sahitya Akademi and Jnana Pith awardee. The Aryaman Trilogy spans five generations of ancient kings and stretches between natural and supernatural worlds. In the key of the symbolic tales of the Vedic cycle, the narrative carries the trace of an archaic human memory of the bridge between heaven and earth and the power of consciousness to conquer the distance between Matter and Spirit. Though set in a protohistorical past, the tale opens the horizons to an utopian future, where it is no longer Space which is the final frontier, but Time, or rather a Space-Time which flows seamlessly between material and archetypal universes. The battle between good and evil, or established cosmic hierarchies and the power of consciousness is transacted on earth and beyond it through symbolic events and mystical powers leading to the fulfillment of human possibility.
