Zusammenfassung:Postmodernism has had its day. Now is the time for epimodernism and its six core values—superficiality, secrecy, energy, acceleration, credit, and continuity—inspired by the “six proposals for the new millennium” that Italo Calvino formulated in his unfinished “American Lectures” shortly before his death. Playing on a unique blend of creative writing and academic criticism, humor and rigor, this original essay describes the new directions taken by contemporary European literature to meet the challenge of the haunting of the past and the compression of the present, and to assert its power and lightness, its depth hidden beneath the surface, and its virtue of commitment and openness to possibilities.
