    Testo fondamentale per la mia tesi su Philip K. Dick.
    Un libro basato su un concetto fondamentale, ovvero che il discrimine tra modernismo e postmoderno sia il cambio di dominante, che da epistemologica nel modernismo diventa ontologica nel postmoderno.
    Da questo semplice assunto parte un'analisi di testi a tutto campo che spaziano dal postmoderno americano al Nouveau Roman ad alcuni autori del boom ispanoamericano.
    Un testo che all'epoca era uno strumento di analisi importantissimo, oggi forse ha più valore storico nel fotografare un momento letterario (appunto il postmoderno) che si può considerare concluso.

    (nota di colore: ho ancora lo scontrino: 66.000 lire dell'epoca - 2001 - all'American Bookstore! Quanto ci hanno mangiato, prima di Amazon...)

    Lettura straordinaria, scritta da una persona preparata e decisamente ben argomentata: a fine lettura non si potrà non avere la convinzione che la SIAE sia un ente che non vada ALMENO riformato.

    4 out of 4 more because of the historical importance of the anthology, since quality varies a lot, and also the style of the stories (and consequently an overall judgement).
    By the way, this is a great promotional tool: some authors discover they write similar, crazy, speculative fiction, they create a label for the "genre" and a dummy-proof anthology that costs ONLY 5 BUCKS to explain what is all about. Great.
    So: a good reading, a price you can't beat.
    Only one question: what is Bizarro?
    Well, Bizarro...let D. Harlan Wilson, who in this interview (http://www.fictionfactor.com/interviews/dharlanwilson.html), explains: Bizarro is an umbrella term for different kinds of speculative fiction. The term was coined as a marketing tool for a group of small press authors.
    And that's it. Read "City Streets", the last short story by Bruce Taylor: it's labeled as "magic realism", which is not ("Cien años de soledad" by Gabriel García Márquez is), but look closely and it could have been easily included in "New Weird", the anthology-epitaph dedicated to the genre who has been at the centre of fantastic literatura critics' attention in the last decade.
    It's just marketing, baby.
    But marketing apart, this is GOOD SHIT.
