These novelists are not simply incorporating references to other media into their work for the sake of verisimilitude, they are also engaging precisely such media as a way of talking about what it means to write and read narrative in a society filled with stories told outside the print medium. By examining how some of our best fiction writers have taken up the challenge of film, television, video games, and hypertext, Daniel Punday offers an enlightening look into the current status of such fundamental narrative concepts as character, plot, and setting. He considers well-known postmodernists like Thomas Pynchon and Robert Coover, more-accessible authors like Maxine Hong Kingston and Oscar Hijuelos, and unjustly overlooked writers like Susan Daitch and Kenneth Gangemi, and asks how their works investigate the nature and limits of print as a medium for storytelling. Writing at the Limit explores how novelists locate print writing within the contemporary media ecology, and what it really means to be writing at print's media limit."--Project Muse. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 2000 - 2099|2fast 650 0 American fiction|y21st century|xHistory and criticism |xTheory, etc. 650 0 Narration (Rhetoric) 650 0 Mass media and literature|zUnited States|xHistory|y21st century. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPunday, Daniel.|tWriting at the limit. |dLincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2012 |z9780803236462|w(DLC) 2011043319|w(OCoLC)759915661 830 0 Frontiers of narrative. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=447414|zOnline eBook.
