The Fiction of Rushdie, Barnes, Winterson And Carter: Breaking Cultural And Literary Boundaries in the Work of Four Postmodernists by Gregory Rubinson

This book takes an in-depth look at the works of Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Jeanette Winterson and Angela Carter with specific emphasis on how they use literary devices to challenge fundamental ideas about politics, race, nationality and gender.

Postmodernism has been a buzzword in contemporary society for the last decade. But how can it be defined? In this Very Short Introduction Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, and their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, and music.
