Nicholas Frangipane examines the narrative technique of telling multiple versions of the same sets of events, presenting both true and false versions of the events within a fictional work. This book looks closely at these "Reflexive Double Narratives" in order to understand the way many contemporary writers have attempted to work past postmodernism without forgetting its lessons. Frangipane explores how writers like Ian McEwan, Yann Martel and Alice Munro have departed from the radical experimentation of their predecessors and instead make sincere attempts to find ways that fictional writing can reveal enduring truths, and in so doing, redefine the meaning of "truth" itself and signal the emergence of post-postmodernism. . 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aAmerican Culture 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 676 $a823.9209 676 $a823.9209384 700 $aFrangipane$b Nicholas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01226100 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484950403321 996 $aMultiple Narratives, Versions and Truth in the Contemporary Novel$92846753 997 $aUNINA
