    • Abstract:
      The article explores late philosopher William Gass' expression of "many-layered" anger, highlighting the marginalization of avant-garde writers and the complex relationship between authorship and affective intensity in Postmodern metafiction. Topics discussed include the crisis of originality in literature, the distinction between emotion and affect, and the performance of authorship as a response to the uncertainty and frustration surrounding creative writing.
