{"product_id":"9781433118227","title":"Stephen King as a Postmodern Author","description":"Although studies on Stephen King (1947–) traditionally belong to the field of popular culture, some of his work, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Half\u003c\/i\u003e and popular culture, some of his work, such as \u003ci\u003eThe Dark Half\u003c\/i\u003e and «Secret Window, Secret Garden,» give an insightful perspective on contemporary fiction. Drawing upon methods used in literary analysis and textual interpretation, this book proposes a new reading of Stephen King’s fiction as a literary reflection on the artistic identity of the writer and on writing and shows that horrific descriptions do not necessarily exclude metafiction. \u003ci\u003eStephen King as a Postmodern Author\u003c\/i\u003e aims to serve as an introduction to major theories influencing contemporary American literature, such as narratology, psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and various theories of fiction.","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049700212976,"sku":"9781433118227","price":90.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433118227_p0.jpg?v=1763754585","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433118227","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
