Innovative fiction is explored as a means to broaden our understanding of the world, challenging the notion that it is merely self-absorbed. The author reinterprets elements like play and self-consciousness as vital to engaging with social and ideological issues. By analyzing works from notable authors such as Donald Barthelme and Kathy Acker, the book presents a new concept of the "argument" in fiction, merging structure and content into a sophisticated experimental form. This fresh perspective seeks to redefine fictional cognition beyond traditional postmodern critiques.
