Klappentext zu „Heralds of the Postmodern “
Heralds of the Postmodern inquires into the possibility of a poetics of madness in Heart of Darkness, Mrs. Dalloway , and The Golden Notebook . By relating the literary expression of the irrational in these works to the philosophical attempt to overcome the subject and rationality in the writings of Nietzsche, Foucault, and Derrida, the book presents modern fiction as an arena in which struggles between reason and madness, limitation and transgression, "self" and "the other" are fully displayed. It investigates how modern literature subverts traditional metaphysics by exploring the realm of the other reason and the new forms of subjectivity.

Pressezitat
"Yuan-Jung Cheng is the best of guides out of the obscurity of literary madness to the lucidity of a poetics of madness. 'Heralds of the Postmodern' leads a reader on a journey through the dark side of literary production worthy of Conrad himself. What begins in 'chaos and confusion' ends in clarity that incidentally helps to explain the pschomachea of three epochs: fin de siècle imperialism, combat fatigue between two wars, and the prolonged stress of a cold war: Conrad, Woolf, Lessing. I can think of no other text that does all this and does it with such stunning economy." (Joseph Butwin, Department of English, University of Washington)Kommentar zu "Heralds of the Postmodern"
