Federman, Raymond

    0.01 sec.

Federman, Raymond (1928– )

US writer. His playful postmodernist texts draw on his French-Jewish boyhood, his family's death in Auschwitz, and his post-war emigration to the USA. He coined the term ‘surfiction’ to describe a form of writing which lays bare narrative conventions, resists interpretation, and engages with historical reality. His works include Double or Nothing (1971), The Voice in the Closet (1979), and The Twofold Vibration (1982).

Other writers of surfiction include Steve Katz (1935– ), Gilbert Sorrentino (1929– ), and Ronald Sukenick.
