Summary:

"The bestselling, contemporary Swiss author Christian Kracht is as widely celebrated as he is a source of controversy. This introduction to his work suggests locating his writings in discourses that range beyond the labels that have been traditionally assigned to them, namely "postmodernism," camp," and "Popliteratur." Instead, this volume considers Kracht's work through the lenses of "authorship," "irony," and "globalism." This volume argues that there is no fixed or uniform author represented in Kracht's corpus, explores the ironic strategies involved in Kracht's various authorial representations, and engages the cultural exchange inherent in Kracht's work"-- Provided by publisher.
