"After" explores work from contemporary American novelists like Kathryn Davis, Don DeLillo, Lydia Millet, Toni Morrison, Richard Powers, Thomas Pynchon, and William T. Vollmann. Situated both after 1989 and after the expiration of a series of "posts"--after postmodernism, after poststructuralism, after posthistory--the authors in my archive self-consciously bind competing models of historical time in response to the ethical pressures of a newly configured global community. |
