Features: Among the 21 American postmodern novelists reviewed in this book, 15 are male writers and 6 are female writers. There are white writers, as well as Black writers, Jewish writers, Chinese-American writers, and Mexican-American writers, representing a wide range of diversity and generally reflecting the characteristics of American postmodernist fiction in the latter half of the 20th century. Some of these writers have passed away, while others are still alive. However, most of the living are in their 70s. They continue to work diligently, with new works occasionally published. Their future works will undoubtedly bring new changes. The writers reviewed in this book are all celebrated or representative figures, with their works already well-established in American academia. The book is divided into three parts, comprising 21 chapters, and introduces 21 writers and over 30 of their novels and short stories, providing an overview of American postmodernist fiction over the past four decades. The study of American postmodernist fiction is a relatively new field, involving multiple disciplines such as philosophy, political science, history, cultural studies, sociology, and literary theory, making its complexity self-evident. This book was completed during our spare time and holidays as part of our teaching responsibilities. From the overall structure to the content of the reviews, it represents our initial efforts, aimed at sparking further discussion and exploration.
