Afterlife and Narrative in Contemporary Fiction de Alice Bennett

Afterlife and Narrative in Contemporary Fiction

Autor Alice Bennett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iul 2012
Afterlife and Narrative explores why life after death is such a potent cultural concept today, and why it is such an attractive prospect for modern fiction. The book mines a rich vein of imagined afterlives, from the temporal experiments of Martin Amis's Time's Arrow to narration from heaven in Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones .

Recenzii

'Bennett's unique focus on 'after life' narratives provides valuable insight into some of the possible repercussions of writing fiction in a time of 'posts' (postmodernism, posthumanism, and even posthumousism. Between these "posts," Bennett demonstrates that after-life narratives have the ability to give a voice to the dispossessed, and to create a space of discursive experimentation for perspectives that are non-Christian and non-Western. After Life is essential reading for anyone interested in what comes after the death of the author.' - Professor Marcel O'Gorman, Department of English, University of Waterloo, Canada
