Juan Francisco Ferre - "Zona Cero. Pautas para una concepcion tecnologica de la narrativa"

4/23/2012
4 pm – 6 pm
106 Dartmouth Hall
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories:
Juan Francisco Ferre is a writer, literary critic and lecturer / researcher at Brown University. He has a PhD in Hispanic Studies.

A re-thinker of fiction, he writes with full consciousness of our contemporary media environment and with full liberty to use that in fiction, without constraints of "literary" expectations or conventional morality.

His fiction is in a post-modern tradition that draws on North American writers such as Thomas Pynchon and David Foster Wallace as much as on Spain's Juan Goytisolo, and he can be seen to be part of a younger generation of literary hell-raisers and re-mixers in Spain that includes Agustin Fernandez Mallo, Eloy Fernandez Porta, Javier Calvo and Robert Juan-Cantavella.
