      abstract = {"Few previous periods in the history of American  literature could rival the richness of the postmodern era -  the diversity of its authors, the complexity of its ideas  and visions, and the multiplicity of its subjects and  forms. This volume offers an authoritative, comprehensive,  and accessible guide to the American fiction of this  remarkable period. It traces the development of postmodern  American fiction over the past half-century and explores  its key aesthetic, cultural, and political contexts. It  examines its principal styles and genres, from the early  experiments with metafiction to the most recent  developments, such as the graphic novel and digital  fiction, and offers concise, compelling readings of many of  its major works. An indispensable resource for students,  scholars, and the general reader, the Companion both  highlights the extraordinary achievements of postmodern  American fiction and provides illuminating critical  frameworks for understanding it"--},
