| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study has attempted to discuss a new direction of American literature in the 21st century, namely its detachment from the traditional question of "What is America?" In particular, the areas of focus were (1) fiction in the 1980s and 1990s still retained American impulse in that they share a certain fascination with the "outside," (2) Unlike these predecessors, writers after 2000 have shifted their style from realism to more "fabulist"and non-national mode, and (3) the emerging generation of those American writers who were born outside the U.S. border have questioned the framework of national literature.
