The short story genre, whilst often marginalized in national literary canons, has been central to the trajectory of literary history in South Africa. In recent years, the short story has undergone a significant renaissance, with new collections and young writers making a significant impact on the contemporary literary scene, and subgenres such as speculative fiction, erotic fiction, flash fiction and queer fiction expanding rapidly in popularity. This book examines the role of the short story genre in reflecting or championing new developments in South African writing and the ways in which traditional boundaries and definitions of the short story in South Africa have been reimagined in the present. Drawing together a range of critical interventions, including scholarly articles, interviews and personal reflective pieces, the volume traces some of the aesthetic and thematic continuities and discontinuities in the genre and sheds new light on questions of literary form. Finally, the book considers the place of the short story in twenty-first century writing and interrogates the ways in which the short story form may contribute to or recast ideas of the post-apartheid or post-transitional. The perfect guide to contemporary short story writing in South Africa, this book will be essential reading for researchers of African literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Short stories, South African (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a South African fiction (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a South African literature (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Short stories, South African (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117377 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $t Short story in South Africa $d New York : Routledge, 2022 $z 9781003226840 $w (DLC) 2021048871 700 1 $a Fasselt, Rebecca, $d 1982- $e editor. 700 1 $a Sandwith, Corinne, $e editor. 700 1 $a Mhlongo, Nicholas, $e interviewee. $e interviewee. $5 IaU 830 0 $a Routledge contemporary South Africa. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=47E1DA144EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
