And what happens today, in the AfterMode, is what writers have managed to hold on to after the Joyce Flood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lidia Vianu&#8217;s book addresses young and old students of present day literature. It examines the survival of the story in English fiction today. The game with the narrative proper and with its traditional tools are many and diverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The novelists this book focuses on are the following: Peter Ackroyd, Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, Malcolm Bradbury, A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Tracy Chevalier, Jonathan Coe, Helen Fielding, Laura Hird, Kazuo Ishiguro, Hanif Kureishi, Doris Lessing, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, Timothy Mo, Salman Rushdie, Graham Swift, Rose Tremain, and Jeanette Winterson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They are all indebted to the master-player: his\u00a0Finnegans Wake\u00a0has already been scrutinized by Contemporary Literature Press in three Lexicons so far &#8211; Romanian, German and Scandinavian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The AfterMode\u00a0has one aim alone: to analyse the story with simple tools. It avoids the ready-made coinages of 2012 critical jargon. It is written in &#8222;demotic&#8221; English. The point it is trying to make is that, while Joyce and Eliot and Ezra Pound could afford games with the Word, the literary critic needs to respect his reader&#8217;s language and understanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The volume\u00a0The AfterMode.\u00a0Present Day English Fiction,\u00a0by\u00a0Lidia Vianu\u00a0will be officially launched on 1 February 2012, but it is available for consultation and downloading on receipt of this Press Release, at the following internet address:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/editura.mttlc.ro\/Lidia.Vianu-The-AfterMode.html<\/p>\n<p>You are kindly invited to visit the\u00a0Contemporary Literature Press\u00a0Website at\u00a0http:\/\/editura.mttlc.ro\/.
