Dissident Postmodernists: Barthelme, Coover, Pynchon (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780812230642)

Critics who hold that postmodernist art is essentially adversarial and apolitical have ignored the historical context of the postmodern focus on the problems of language. Paul Maltby examines a major current of postmodernist fiction that can be read as a dissident response to developments of late capitalism that have transformed the field of language and communication.
