This essay aims to investigate two ergodic novels as a representation of literature after postmodernism. More specifically, it will address non-linear novels, extending beyond the boundaries of the text and becoming highly complex, as representative of a new phase, namely metamodernity. The examples taken into account are House of Leaves (2000) by Mark Z. Danielewski and S. Ship of Theseus (2013) by J.J. Abrams and D. Dorst.

Abstract

This essay aims to investigate two ergodic novels as a representation of literature after postmodernism. More specifically, it will address non-linear novels, extending beyond the boundaries of the text and becoming highly complex, as representative of a new phase, namely metamodernity. The examples taken into account are House of Leaves (2000) by Mark Z. Danielewski and S. Ship of Theseus (2013) by J.J. Abrams and D. Dorst.
