Eternalized Fragments explores the implications of treating literature as artexamining the evolving nature of aesthetic inquiry in literary studies, with an eye to how twentieth and twentyfirstcentury world fiction challenges our understandings of form, pleasure, ethics, and other critical concepts traditionally associated with the study of aesthetics.Since postmodern and contemporary fiction tend to be dominated by disjunctures, paradoxes, and incongruities, this book offers an account of how and why readers choose to engage regardless, articulating the cognitive rewards such difficulties offer. By putting narrative and philosophical approaches in conversation with evolutionary psychology and contemporary neuroscience, W. Michelle Wang examines the value of attending to aesthetic experiences when we read literature and effectively demonstrates that despite the aesthetics stumble in time, our ongoing love affair with fiction is grounded in our cognitive engagements with the texts aesthetic dimensions.Drawing on a diverse range of works by Gabriel Garca Mrquez, Kazuo Ishiguro, Arundhati Roy,Cormac McCarthy, Jeanette Winterson, Jennifer Egan, Italo Calvino, Flann OBrien, and Alasdair Gray, Eternalized Fragments lucidly renders the aesthetic energies at work in the novels rich potentialities of play, the sublimes invitation to affective renegotiations, and beautys polysemy in shaping readerly capacities for nuance.
