"What is the significance of writing in the wake of postmodernism?
The previous decade has seen a growing interest in criticism of
postmodern ethics and aesthetics from theorists and writers. This
book begins to answer what art form or critical methodology might
take its place. Exploring the work of six contemporary novelists
Bret Easton Ellis, J.G. Ballard, Will Self, Michel Houellebecq,
Tama Janowitz and Chuck Palahniuk Ethics and Desire in the Wake of
Postmodernism delivers a series of interventions into six key areas
of contemporary debate: fear, nihilism, revolution, ethics,
enjoyment and feminism. The book goes on to develop an innovative
critical methodology which reinvigorates the ability of art and
literature to engage in ideological critique. Rather than
valorising separatism, plurality or indeterminacy, this approach
delivers a critical framework which enacts a radical de-centering
of the fundamental coordinates of contemporary society. "
