This book provides a wide-ranging discussion of realism,
postmodernism, literary theory and popular fiction before focusing
on the careers of four prominent novelists. Despite wildly
contrasting ambitions and agendas, all four grow progressively more
sympathetic to the expectations of a mainstream literary audience,
noting the increasingly neglected yet archetypal need for strong
explanatory narrative even while remaining wary of its limitations,
presumptions, and potential abuses. Exploring novels that manage to
bridge the gap between accessible storytelling and literary theory,
this book shows how contemporary authors reconcile values of
posmodern literary experimentation and traditional realism.
