Fantasy : How It Works
Attebery, Brian
An exciting and accessible study of the genre of fantasy. One of the
dominant modes of storytelling in the twenty-first century, fantasy can
mirror contemporary experiences and convey our anxieties and longings
better than any representation of the merely real. It is the lie that
speaks truth.
This book addresses two central questions about
fantastic storytelling: first, how can it be meaningful if it doesn’t
claim to represent things as they are, and second, what kind of change
can it make in the world? How can a form of storytelling that
altersphysical laws and denies facts about the past be at the same time a
source of insight into human nature and the workings of the world? What
kind of social, political, cultural, intellectual work does fantasy
perform in the world-the world of the reader, that is, not that of the
characters? Focusing on various aspects of fantastic world-building and
story creation in classic and contemporary fantasy, from the use of
symbolic structures to the way new stories incorporate bits of
significance from earlier texts, this book shows how fantasy allows
writers such as Michael Cunningham, Hans Christian Anderson, Helene
Wecker, C. S. Lewis, Ursula K.
Le Guin, Nnedi Okorafor, Nalo
Hopkinson, George MacDonald, Aliette deBodard, and Patricia Wrightson to
test new modes of understanding andinteraction and thus to rethink
political institutions, social practices, and models of reality.
