SCHWERDTFEGER
Ethics in Postmodern Fiction
Fp ostmodern texts have generally been associated
with a radical challenge of established conventions
and with an anything goes mentality, which seems
to exclude serious ethical discussion. While the post¬
modern texts of the American novel and short-story
writers Donald Barthelme and William Gass indeed
challenge traditional ethical rules, they are nonethe¬
less deeply concerned with moral questions. Using
contemporary ethics as its theoretical framework,
the study shows that the fiction of Barthelme and
Gass not only makes readers aware of the complexity
of ethical issues but also argues that the premise for
good ethical behavior is to have the right - postmod¬
ern - attitude: to be open-minded, flexible, and able
to deal with the ambiguities of life. Retrospectively,
these findings can also be applied to other postmod¬
ern writers to reveal the hidden ethical dimensions of
their fictions.
