Historiographic metafiction and Greek postmodernism -- Postmodern exile: identity and national ideology -- The politics of remembering: confession, testimony and ideology -- Metafiction and the postmodern (auto)biographical novel -- Content or form? experimental and conservative approaches.

Summary: This book examines Greek postmodernist fiction through the lens of history, national ideology and constructions of identity. It argues that postmodernist Greek writers question the idea of national identity based on both the impact of globalization and a reexamination of the discourses of national ideology; they suggest a turn away from the traditional concerns with cultural homogeneity towards an acceptance of multiplicity and diversity, which is reflected through experimentation with postmodernist literary techniques.
