520 Edward Jayne takes on the literary academy with his
startling new theory based on the deceptively simple
premise that intentional misrepresentation is the primary
function of narrative form--the lie is fiction's single
most important ingredient. Unless the truth is
meaningfully warped, distorted, or reorganized, fiction
cannot by definition be fiction. Here is a new
hyperreductionist model of literary form as cognitive
evasiveness, as a homeostatic tension-reduction strategy,
as paranoid fantasy that plots self-justification, and,
most fundamentally, as the pursuit of affirmative
alternatives to deny (or designify) unacceptable
experience. Jayne convincingly demonstrates how the static
declaration of falsehoods featured by most theories of
literary deception is less important than the vital
enactment of a lie that takes place when a story's closure
reverses its origins. Literary truths are needed to give
credibility to untruths, but a text's primary appeal
depends on making these untruths come true.
520 8 Jayne illustrates the dynamics of literary
misrepresentation by exploring homophobic evasiveness in
such texts as Heart of Darkness, Hamlet, "The Rime of the
Ancient Mariner," "Mending Wall," "Young Goodman Brown,"
and even "a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." In Hamlet,
for example, he explains tragic denouement as the denial
of androgynous tendencies expressed by metaphor, while in
"Mending Wall" he shows how these tendencies oblige
continuing vigilance to avoid transgressing heterosexual
barriers. At the level of metatheory. Jayne maintains that
literary criticism is no less deceptive than the fiction
it interprets; the central role of literary deception
demands modifications in most current approaches to
literary criticism, including Marxism, response theory,
deconstructionism, and new historicism. In general he
takes issue with poststructuralists by explaining plot as
a centered context of narrative denial that creates
sufficient determinate structure for effective
communication to occur between authors and readers. Jayne
also explores narrative denial in the overall career of a
particular critic--Barthes--and in the advancement of
literary criticism from its emphasis on authenticity
during the sixties to the pursuit of indeterminate
cognitive alternatives over the subsequent two decades.
Provocative, insightful, and ultimately controversial,
Negative Poetics will be of interest to everybody who
seeks to escape the current impasse in literary criticism.
