Abstract  

The essay constructs minimalism in contemporary American fiction as both an extension of postmodernism and a revolt against it, a new development. It means that minimalism is a response to the same (i.e., postmodernist) view of the world, but the same philosophical conclusions regarding the postmodern nature of the world result in a radically different ars poetica. In the minimalist writer’s aesthetic decisions, the postmodernist habit is the real generative factor – it is the hidden ideological core of the postmodernist worldview that plays the really decisive role in the postmodernist-convictions-and-minimalist-aesthetic- program dynamic.
