Through a broad-ranging survey of the allegory, utopia, the
historical novel and the epic in post-colonial literature,
Jean-Pierre Durix proposes a critical reassessment of the theory of
genres. He argues that, in the New Literatures which are often
rooted in hybrid aesthetics, the often decried mimesis must be
viewed from a completely different angle. Analysing texts by
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Salman Rushdie, Alejo Carpentier, Wilson
Harris and Edouard Glissant, he pleads for the redefinition of
'magic realism' if the term is to retain generic relevance.
