The blank fiction of young American writers like Dennis Cooper, Lynne Tillman, Bret Easton Ellis and Susanna Moore represents a shift away from the postwar obsession with dense plots, political subject-matter and academic philosophising. These writers appear to value superficiality over complexity, mass culture over high culture and youth over experience.
