- W4220932792 abstract "Minimalism and maximalism are key tendencies in late-twentieth- and early-twenty-first-century American fiction. According to Edward Strickland, minimalism is “a movement, primarily in postwar America, towards an art – visual, musical, literary, or otherwise – that makes its statement with limited, if not the fewest possible, resources, an art that eschews abundance of compositional detail, opulence of texture, and complexity of structure.” Narration in minimalist fiction favors short words, compact and simply structured sentences and paragraphs, imitative of easy-to-understand colloquial dialogue. Descriptions of characters, their backgrounds, and settings are restricted in minimalist fiction, while brand names are frequently used as a shorthand for such description. This descriptive trope tends to heighten the perceived superficiality of literary minimalism's objects, suggested by the derogatory title of “K-Mart Realism.” Minimalist stories usually contain very little action, and their tendency to be written in the present tense emphasizes a lack of dramatic arc and thus a nihilistic suspension of resolution. Maximalism, by contrast, is not so much a movement as a repudiation of many minimalist principles. Maximalist fiction is expansive, featuring linguistic digression, redundancy, verbosity that distinguish such fiction from literary minimalism's concision. The nihilistic or poignant stasis of minimalism contrasts with maximalism's exuberance, and complex vocabulary, sentence structure, and lengthy paragraphs often result in very long works with high page counts." @default.
