Dear Incomprehension

Bag om Dear Incomprehension

This book "tackles a broad swath of contemporary literature currently labeled 'speculative fiction.' A blurring of genres that includes science fiction, modern fairy tales, and avant-garde experimental fiction, these works are extremely popular but also derive from highly sophisticated philosophical and aesthetic sensibilities, ones that call into question and uproot the very foundations of stories and storytelling. Because such fictions subvert most conventional narrative devices--plot, recognizable characters, verisimilitude, logic, legibility--they deliberately confound almost any kind of conventional reading and criticism. ... To do such a literature justice, the traditional frameworks of literary criticism fail, and Dear Incomprehension is more of an extended philosophical essay than it is a traditional work of criticism, as oblique and unconventional in its voice, tone, and methods as the texts it illuminates"--
