It then looks at the role of women in works by such authors as Sandra Cisneros, Leslie Marmon Silko, Joyce Carol Oates, and Lorrie Moore. This is followed by a section of chapters on postmodern masculinity and short fiction. The next section focuses on death as an image and theme in works by Richard Ford, Richard Brautigan, and James Joyce. The final set of chapters considers postmodern short fiction from South Africa and Canada. Although postmodern theorists have paid little attention to the short story per se, much of what they say can be applied to the genre. And many short-story writers have created postmodern modes for their stories to provide structure and meaning.
