Synopsis The Postmodern Short Story by : Farhat Iftekharrudin
Short stories are usually defined in terms of characteristics of modernism, in which the story begins in the middle, develops according to a truncated plot, and ends with an epiphany. This approach tends to ignore postmodernism, a movement often characterized by a negation of objective reality where plots are seemingly abandoned, surfaces are extraordinary, and symbols turn inward on themselves. This book examines postmodern forms and characteristic themes by analyzing a group of short stories that make use of postmodern narrative strategies, including nonfictional fiction, gender profiling, and death as an image. The volume begins with a discussion of the blurred lines between fiction and nonfiction in the short story and imaginative personal essay. It then looks at the role of women in works by such authors as Sandra Cisneros, Leslie Marmon Silko, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lorrie Moore. This is followed by a section of chapters on postmodern masculinity and short fiction. The next section focuses on death as an image and theme in works by Richard Ford, Richard Brautigan, and James Joyce. The final set of chapters considers postmodern short fiction from South Africa and Canada.

Synopsis Japanese Fiction Writers Since World War II by : Van C. Gessel
Essays on post World War II Japanese fiction writers. Novelists who participated in literary activity after 1945 shaped the direction of postwar Japanese fiction. Freed from censorship, significant war literature was written in the decade after the conflict. Established writers were able to resume work interrupted by the war and demands to write propaganda. Female authors would emerge to define the new role of their gender in this post-war period.

Synopsis British and Irish Dramatists Since World War II. by : John Stanley Bull
Embraces the work of writers working in theatrical traditions ranging from the classic well-made play to the most radical avant-garde pieces. This variety is indicative of the fact that this period is one of the most important in British drama, comparable to the late-Elizabethan/Jacobean and post-Restoration eras in terms of the quantity and quality of new work and surpassing both of them in the sheer variety of theatrical offerings.
