Abstract

The article "Post-Postmodernist Fiction and The Rise of Digital Epitexts" by Virginia Pignagnoli explores how digital technology has influenced contemporary authors in engaging with audiences beyond the text itself. Pignagnoli delves into the concept of paratexts, specifically communicative and epistemic types, in the context of 21st-century fiction. Through detailed analyses of works by authors like Michael Chabon, Jennifer Egan, and Catherine Lacey, the author examines how digital epitexts contribute to narrative communication and co-construction. The book emphasizes the evolving nature of storytelling in the digital age and the importance of considering digital paratextuality in literary studies. [Extracted from the article]
