A frequent complaint about contemporary
American fiction is that too often it puts off
readers in ways they find difficult to fathom.
Books such as Bret Easton Ellis s American
Psycho,
Katherine
Dunn s Geek Love, and
Don DeLillo s Underworld seem determined
to upset, disgust, or annoy their readers
—
or
to disorient them by shunning traditional
plot patterns and character development.
Kathryn Hume calls such works aggressive
fictions. Why would authors risk alienating
their readers
—
and why should readers perse¬
vere? Looking beyond the theory-based jus¬
tifications that critics often provide for such
fiction, Hume offers a commonsense guide
for the average reader who wants to better
understand and appreciate books that might
otherwise seem difficult to enjoy.
In her reliable and sympathetic guide,
Hume considers roughly forty works of re¬
cent American fiction, including books by
William Burroughs, Kathy Acker, Chuck
Palahniuk, and Cormac McCarthy. Hume
gathers attacks on the reader into cat¬
egories based on narrative structure and
content. Writers of some aggressive fictions
may wish to frustrate easy interpretation
or criticism. Others may try to induce cer¬
tain responses in readers. Extreme content
deployed as a tactic for distancing and alien¬
ating can actually produce a contradictory
effect: for readers who learn to relax and go
with the flow, the result may well be exhila¬
ration rather than revulsion.
