“This volume takes a nuanced and intriguing look at the works of Agatha Christie, Stanislaw Lem, Philip K. Dick and Neil Gaiman. Through its careful selection of material, it brings together and inspires new ways of looking at these established figures from the worlds of popular fiction. Sandor Klapcsik proves to be an invaluable guide and a sophisticated thinker as he moves between genres and oeuvres; fans as well as scholars of SF and detective mysteries will find much food for thought in his critical explorations.”—Matt Hills, Cardiff University, the author of Fan Cultures and The Pleasures of Horror; “Mr. Klapcsik appears something to be a polymath; he is certainly deeply knowledgeable about the whole range of post-structuralist theory, and able to use a number of theoretical vocabularies with authority and a fluency that I frankly envy.”—Brian McHale, Ohio State University, the author of Constructing Postmodernism and The Obligation toward the Difficult Whole.
