From Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace and beyond, 'redemptive
hybridism' – a new way of reading texts full of possibility and
genre blending – emerges as a key trajectory for post-postmodernity.
Tasha Haines investigates what she calls 'redemptive hybridism' a
tendency in post-postmodern writing characterized by possibility. She
suggests that near the 21st century, postmodern élitisme gives way to
a reparative blending of high-low forms and genre collaborations for
challenging and extending the relationship between writer, written
material, and reader. By combining an innovative literary
investigation with creative and auto-theoretical strategies, Haines
offers valuable new interpretations for texts of 'the modernisms
continuum'. Her conversational survey moves among the hybridity of
Virginia Woolf, the paratextuality of David Foster Wallace, with
Nathalie Sarraute, Édouard Levé, Maggie Nelson and more. In
reference to Deleuze and Guattari, Hassan, and others, writers are
curated for their approach to form, method, and content, evoking and
invoking textual hybridity. Haines articulates a new way of viewing
works via comparisons and close-ups that exemplify the possibility and
genre-blending that is Redemptive Hybridism in Post-Postmodern
Writing.
