Description
Narrative after Deconstruction by Daniel Punday explores the concept of narrative as an alternative model for literary interpretation. Drawing on a range of theorists, including Jean-Francois Lyotard and Jacques Derrida, Punday argues that concrete objects within narratives can serve as "lynchpins" for multiple explanations and interpretations. The book examines how critics such as Gilles Deleuze, Elizabeth Grosz, and Edward Said have grappled with the challenges of narrative in contemporary literary theory. It also looks at experimental novelists like Ronald Sukenick, Raymond Federman, Clarence Major, and Kathy Acker, who have developed innovative approaches to writing and interpretation in response to deconstruction. By tracing the emergence of a post-deconstructive interest in narrative, Punday sheds light on the ongoing development of literary theory. This thought-provoking work offers insights into the complexities of narrative and its role in shaping our understanding of literature.
