Through the lens of this transitional genre, the book explores the 1990s in relation to debates about the end of postmodernism, and connects the decade to other transitional periods in US literature. Novels by four major contemporary writers are examined: Philip Roth, Paul Auster, E. L. Doctorow and Jeffrey Eugenides. Each novel has a similar structure: an observer-narrator tells the story of an important person in his life who has died. But each story is equally about the struggle to tell the story, to find adequate means to narrate the transitional quality of the hero's life. In playing out this narrative struggle, each novel thereby addresses the broader problem of historical transition, a problem that marks the legacy of the postmodern era in American literature and culture."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoint of view (Literature) 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $2Literary studies: general 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aPoint of view (Literature) 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a813/.540923 700 $aKelly$b Adam$01066653 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511329303321 996 $aAmerican fiction in transition$92549706 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04183nam 2200685 450 001 9910823609303321 005 20230803220641.0 010 $a3-11-031380-4 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110313802 035 $a(CKB)2550000001169829 035 $a(EBL)1249988 035 $a(OCoLC)865329855 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001061743 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11573507 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001061743 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11111477 035 $a(PQKB)10456787 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1249988 035 $a(DE-B1597)208466 035 $a(OCoLC)1013937532 035 $a(OCoLC)885389310 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110313802 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1249988 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10820010 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL551814 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001169829 100 $a20130723h20142014 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aSymptom fluctuation in fibromyalgia $eenvironmental, psychological and psychobiological influences /$fKerstin Wentz 210 1$aBerlin :$cWalter de Gruyter GmbH & Co.

An aspect of the syndrome of fibromyalgia is fluctuation as in onset of pain, variation in the level of symptoms, time off from pain and recovery from pain and other symptoms. The analysis of these fluctuations might create a basis for solid suggestions regarding the nature of the syn-drome itself. E.g. the pain level is well known to vary with mental and physical load including exposure to cold. Simultaneously, fibromyalgia has been found to mean an altered balance in the autonomic nervous system. In the first section of the book a developmental stage or life before fibromyalgia is covered. Intra- and interpersonal patterns based on narrations of the afflicted are pictured. Identified patterns are psychometrically examined and environmental as well as psychobiological patterns are accounted for. In the mid-section of the book life with fibromyalgia is scrutinized including biomarkers. Patterns regarding variation in the level of pain, gaps in fibromyalgia pain and environmental factors influencing these gaps are related. The effect on life, symptoms and defense measures is elucidated from the angle of mental load. The last sections portrait psychological and environmental influences concerning recovery, but especially the striking phenomenon of recovery being scarce. Special attention is paid to cognitive-emotional functioning, the need to target dissociation and environmental influences on maintenance. 410 0$aHealth, Medicine and Human Development 606 $aFibromyalgia 606 $aMyofascial pain syndromes 610 $aFibromyalgia, Dissociation, Psychobiology, Fluctuation. 615 0$aFibromyalgia. 615 0$aMyofascial pain syndromes. 676 $a616.7/42 686 $aYG 6926$2rvk 700 $aWentz$b Kerstin$01654957 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823609303321 996 $aSymptom fluctuation in fibromyalgia$94007103 997 $aUNINA
