This book represents "snapshots" of Shanghai with speculations on
their meaning as China opens to the West and undergoes yet another
shift towards modernity.
From the 1960s (when the advent of what many call the postmodern
style made establishing genres more difficult) to the present day,
writers have been incorporating science--not only the commonly
thought of science and technology but also the "soft" sciences such
as psychology and sociology--into what was previously considered
mainstream fiction. This book examines works by Thomas Pynchon,
Doris Lessing, and others who incorporate science in fiction and
exemplify the movement of mainstream fiction writers toward a new
genre termed "span." It also examines works by some science fiction
writers who are edging closer to the border of science fiction and
slowly over into span. This book maps the boundaries of the new
span genre of fiction and thus helps define texts that fall outside
the realms of mainstream and science fiction. Diagrams are included
and a bibliography and index.
