How has American literature after postmodernism responded to the
digital age? Drawing on insights from contemporary media theory,
this is the first book to explore the explosion of new media
technologies as an animating context for contemporary American
literature. Casey Michael Henry examines the intertwining histories
of new media forms since the 1970s and literary postmodernism and
its aftermath, from William Gaddis's J R and Bret Easton Ellis's
American Psycho through to David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
Through these histories, the book charts the ways in which
print-based postmodern writing at first resisted new mass media
forms and ultimately came to respond to them.
