Interrogating stories told about life after deconstruction, and
discovering instead a kind of afterlife of deconstruction, Daniel
Punday draws on a wide range of theorists to develop a rigorous
theory of narrative as an alternative model for literary
interpretation. Drawing on an observation made by Jean-Francois
Lyotard, Punday argues that at the heart of narrative are concrete
objects that can serve as "lynchpins" through which many different
explanations and interpretations can come together. Narrative after
Deconstruction traces the often grudging emergence of a
post-deconstructive interest in narrative throughout contemporary
literary theory by examining critics as diverse as Jacques Derrida,
Gilles Deleuze, Elizabeth Grosz, and Edward Said. Experimental
novelists like Ronald Sukenick, Raymond Federman, Clarence Major,
and Kathy Acker likewise work through many of the same problems of
constructing texts in the wake of deconstruction, and so provide a
glimpse of this post-deconstructive narrative approach to writing
and interpretation at its most accomplished and powerful.
