Fictional Death and the Modernist Enterprise
Friedman, Alan Warren (University of Texas, Austin)
This 1995 book traces the semiotics of death and dying in twentieth-century fiction and culture. It describes how modernist writers either elided rituals of death, or transformed Victorian 'aesthetic death' into modern 'dirty death'; and he shows how, through postmodern fiction and AIDS narratives, death has again become cultural currency.
