More about the book

Focusing on the role of folktales, Benson presents a compelling analysis of postmodern narrative, contrasting it with modernism's spiraling events. He argues that storytelling, particularly through folktales and fairy tales, serves as a vital expression of human thought. By connecting these traditional narratives to contemporary theoretical discussions, he sheds light on how major writers have utilized this genre to explore new narrative potentials, offering fresh insights into the evolution of storytelling in postmodern literature.
