Abstract

Submissions are invited for a collection of essays on the contemporary
extreme. The volume will deal with novels whose styles or themes engage a
hyper real, often apocalyptic, world progressively invaded by popular culture,
permeated with technology, and dominated by destruction. In this world,
violence – often the only stable element – operates as ethos. Entries may
include, but are by no means limited to, novelists such as Cathy Acker, Nelly
Arcan, Frédéric Beigbeder, Rafael Chaparro Madiedo, Marie Darrieussecq, Don
DeLillo, Virginie Despentes, Bret Easton Ellis, Lucía Etxebarría, Alberto
Fuguet, Michel Houllebecq, Orly Kastel-Bloom, Patrícia Melo, Mian Mian,
