Just when some of us have finally come to terms with postmodern literature, a new generation of writers has ventured beyond postmodernism. Prosser (American literature and culture, U. of Leeds, UK) introduces literary trends explored in 16 essays about literature of the 1990s including: African-American, Latino/a- American, and queer fiction; new genres such as the graphic novel; and transnationalism. New immigrants (e.g., Bharati Mukherjee), and others from minority/hybrid cultures explore fluid geographic, cultural, and racial borders in the globalized world. Other themes are hyper-consciousness of history (per Philip Roth's The American Trilogy), exploration of sexuality (as in Naomi Wolf's Promiscuities, and the implications of new-media technologies (in Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest).
