About This Novel
"A Theory of American Postmodernist Novels" reveals that American postmodernist novels use texts intertwined with reality and fiction to effectively express postmodern human experience.

Auster was keen on creating a series of labyrinthine novels in his novels to reveal the truth of reality and history. Powers actively advocates and constructs the idea of a post-humanistic harmonious society in his works. Coupland's novels pay close attention to popular culture and social issues, perfectly combining cultural criticism with characterization. Donleavy's carnival novel creation presents readers with an uncertain, unstable real world full of weirdness and absurdity.
