Dear Incomprehension On American Speculative Fiction

By Stéphane Vanderhaeghe

First published 2024

A poetic meditation on the challenges and pleasures of contemporary speculative fiction Winner of the Elizabeth Agree Prize in American Literary Studies Dear Incomprehension: On American Speculative Fiction is a thought-provoking exploration of the fascinating field of contemporary speculative fiction, a genre that transcends boundaries and encompasses science fiction, fabulist tales, modern fairy tales, and experimental narratives that challenge the very essence of storytelling and reading. Written as a philosophical essay that mirrors the unorthodox nature of the texts it analyzes, Dear Incomprehension examines American works that defy traditional narrative devices such as plot, character, logic, and even legibility.
