Contingent Meanings: Postmodern Fiction, Mimesis, and the Reader. Varsava, J. A. Florida State University Press, 1990. Google-Books-ID: 7SdpQgAACAAJabstract bibtex In making a case for a mimetic function in postmodern fiction, Jerry Varsava evaluates the American reception of postmodern fiction, challenging both the critics who condemn postmodernism as morally pointless and those who celebrate postmodern fiction for its aesthetic alone. He then advances a view of mimesis: the reader of fiction, not the writer, establishes the text's reference to the world.
