This book investigates a new form of fiction that is currently
emerging in contemporary literature across the globe. 'Novels of
the extreme' - from North and South America, from Europe, the
Middle East and Asia - are set in a world both similar to and
different from our own: a hyper-real, often apocalyptic world
progressively invaded by popular culture, permeated with technology
and dominated by destruction. While their writing is commonly
classified as 'hip' or 'underground' literature, authors of
contemporary extreme novels have often been the center of public
controversy and scandal; they, and their work, become international
bestsellers. This collection of essays indentifies and describes
this international phenomenon, investigating the appeal of these
novels' styles and themes, the reason behind their success, and the
fierce debates they provoked. Alain-Philippe Durand is Associate
Professor of French, Film Studies and Comparative Literature at the
University of Rhode Island. Naomi Mandel is Assistant Professor in
the Department of English, University of Rhode Island.
