Description
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. "
