This collection of new essays presents some of the most recent scholarship on a genre whose popularity has surged dramatically since the 1990s. Contributors explore such novels as The Lord of the Flies, The Heart Goes Last, The Giver and The Strain Trilogy as social critique, revealing how they appeal to the same impulse as utopian fiction: the desire for an idealized yet illusory society in which evil is purged and justice prevails. |

| spelling | Worlds gone awry : essays on dystopian fiction / edited by John J. Han, C. Clark Triplett and Ashley G. Anthony. Jefferson, North Carolina : McFarland and Company, Inc., [2018] ©2018 1 online resource (vii, 252 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Dystopian fiction captivates us by depicting future worlds at once eerily similar and shockingly foreign to our own. This collection of new essays presents some of the most recent scholarship on a genre whose popularity has surged dramatically since the 1990s. Contributors explore such novels as The Lord of the Flies, The Heart Goes Last, The Giver and The Strain Trilogy as social critique, revealing how they appeal to the same impulse as utopian fiction: the desire for an idealized yet illusory society in which evil is purged and justice prevails. Feminine subterfuge in Margaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last / Megan E. Cannella -- "Forget sad things": Kurt Vonnegut's dystopian short fiction as social critique / Ashley G. Anthony -- "A secure but partly demented society": reconsidering human depravity in William Golding's Lord of the Flies / Natasha W. Vashisht -- Streets of spectrality: Kevin Barry's dystopian City of Bohane / Deirdre Flynn -- Interrogating utopia: on Colin Macinnes' Absolute Beginners / Andrew Hammond -- "What if I said that he's a god?": messianism in Cormac McCarthy's The Road / Wes Yeary -- "Maps and mazes": mapping as metaphor in postsecular America / Harold K. Bush -- Unmasking the deception: the hermeneutic of suspicion in Lois Lowry's The Giver / C. Clark Triplett and John J. Han -- Ending dystopia: the feminist critique of culture in Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games Trilogy / Jane Beal -- Commodifying the revolution: dystopian young adult literature and cultural critique / Jillian L. Canode -- Dystopia, competition and reality television tropes in The Bachman Books: "The Long Walk" and "The Running Man" / Alissa Burger -- Stranger than fiction: locating the digital dystopia in contemporary fiction / Robyn N. Rowley -- Disembodied heads and headless philosophies: C.S. Lewis' aesthetic rejoinder to dystopian utility in that hideous strength / Matthew Bardowell -- The creation of the future from remnants of the past: order from disorder in William Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties and Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash / Melanie A. Marotta -- The future is white, the future is undead: reframing the American vampire dystopia in Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's The Strain Trilogy / Simon Bacon -- Here's looking at you, kids: the urgency of dystopian texts in the secondary classroom / Michael A.
