note = {What is 'postirony'? Foremost, it is a response to the ironic
zeitgeist. Moreover, it is the key to understanding a specific form of
literature. The contemporary reader is familiar with and –
unfortunately – used to postmodernism's ironic, self-reflexive
metafiction. Authors like David Foster Wallace and Dave Eggers chose a
different path: Despite the reign of contemporary irony, they strive
to reach the reader on a level beyond, cognitively as well as
emotionally – they claim to be sincere and true. Focusing largely on
nonfiction by said authors, Lukas Hoffmann explores the means the
texts use to achieve something new – namely, a new form of
sincerity.},
