David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, Second Edition
A fully revised and expanded edition of Burn's influential guide to a central postmodern novel.
Jonathan Franzen at the End of Postmodernism
Jonathan Franzen is one of the most influential, critically-significant and popular contemporary American novelists. This book is the first full-length study of his work and attempts to articulate where American fiction is headed after postmodernism.

Supplementing this analysis with comparisons to key contemporaries, David Foster Wallace and Richard Powers, Burn suggests how Franzen's work is indicative of the direction of experimental American fiction in the wake of the so-called end of postmodernism.
