Postmodern Paradigm and Salman Rushdie'S Fiction e-bog

The book highlights postmodern fiction and more so Rushdies fiction, which is concerned with: 1. A preoccupation with viability of systems and representations2. The decentring of the subject and the inscription of multiple fictive selves3. Narrative fragmentation, narrative reflexivity, and narratives which double-back on their own presuppositions4. An open-ended play with formal divides challenging the presuppositions of literary realism5. Abolition of the cultural divide between high and popular forms of culture, embracing all in a mlange6. The displacement of the real by simulacra in Baudrillardian sense7. Incredulity toward the metanarratives as Lyotard puts it
