Trying to have it both ways, most Alternate Histories subscribe to a conflicting set of beliefs concerning determinism and freedom of choice, contingency and necessity. For the very first time, Alternate Histories are here discussed against the backdrop of their Other, Future Narratives. The volume contains in-depth analyses of the classics of the genre,such as Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle and Philip Roth's The Plot against America, as well as less widely-discussed manifestations of the genre, such as Dieter Kühn's N, Christian Kracht's Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten, and Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds. 606 $aAlternative histories (Fiction)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 610 $aFuture. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aNarrative. 610 $aPast. 615 0$aAlternative histories (Fiction)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 676 $a809.3/8768 686 $aEC 6745$2rvk 700 $aSingles$b Kathleen$f1982-$0907025 702 $aBode$b Christoph 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341842003321 996 $aAlternate history$92028886 997 $aUNINA
