Klappentext zu „The Games of Poetics “
The primary aim of this study is to formulate desiderata for "ludic criticism," a strategy which is proffered as a mode of approaching the opaque and highly playful fictions that have been created by writers in Europe and America in the last quarter of this century. Having outlined an innovative strategy in the first part of the book, the author applies the theory in close readings of French and American texts, and suggests that ludic criticism may be as inexhaustible in extent as the fictive hall of mirrors portrayed by contemporary practitioners of the novel.

Pressezitat
University of California, Riverside)"We have in 'The Games of Poetics' an articulate response for those who suggest that the pervasive 'playfulness' of the postmodern novel is an indicator of its frivolous or nugatory nature. Burke's insightful study demonstrates the fundamental importance of the ludic in the aesthetic scheme of postmodern fiction by employing concepts from reader response and game theories... Readers will appreciate her well-reasoned and sympathetic readings. Rather than simply atomizing, they preserve the pleasures of the text." (Walter Oliver, California State University, San Bernardino)
