Description for Revolution: The Event in Postwar Fiction
Hardback. While the imperatives of the postmodern eventually gave order to this chaos, Wilkens explains that the same forces are again at work in today's fracturing literary market.

Socially, politically, and artistically, the 1950s make up an odd interlude between the first half of the twentieth century-still tied to the problems and orders of the Victorian era and Gilded Age-and the pervasive transformations of the later sixties.

Reviews for Revolution: The Event in Postwar Fiction
Wilkens's most informative contributions remain his own intriguing and forthright theoretical expositions, especially his account of encyclopedic narrative. Here, he argues strongly for the decoupling of the form from national identity or narrative, but also rails against any ahistorical understanding... I would highly recommend [this book] to scholars of critical theory and post-war fiction.
