Features: In the current field of literary studies, research on 1990s fiction has been relatively weak in terms of comprehensiveness and depth. This book, starting from the complex textual practices of 1990s fiction and the real development of figurative literature, analyzes the "ethical narrative" that occupies the central thematic position in 1990s fiction. By doing so, it grasps the underlying narrative ethics and further reveals the overall narrative ethical characteristics and cultural spiritual aspirations of 1990s fiction. This book comprehensively analyzes the textual practices of 1990s fiction from the perspectives of ethical narrative and narrative ethics, an area that has rarely been explored by previous scholars. With the research perspective of ethical narrative and narrative ethics, it integrates 1990s fiction into a system of thematic study, poetics, and the interactive examination of the "subjectivity" of writers, demonstrating a deep research approach that provides essential, holistic, historical, and cultural poetics insights into 1990s fiction.
