Böcker av Christian Moraru

"A literary-historical study that deals chiefly with post-1990 American fictional prose and argues that David Foster Wallace's phrase, "apráes-garde" (the opposite of avant-garde), encapsulates an aesthetic that is applicable to much of the past thirty-odd years of American literature"--

In his new book, Christian Moraru argues that post-Cold War culture in general and, in particular, the literature, philosophy, and theory produced since 9/11 foreground an emergent "planetary" imaginary - a "planetarism" - binding in unprecedented ways the world's peoples, traditions, and aesthetic practices.
