Abstract:

Since the turn of the millennium, there has seen an increase in the inclusion of 
typography, graphics and illustration in fiction. This book engages with visual 
and multimodal devices in twenty-first century literature, exploring canonical 
authors like Mark Z. Danielewski and Jonathan Safran Foer alongside 
experimental fringe writers such as Steve Tomasula, to uncover an embodied 
textual aesthetics in the information age. Bringing together multimodality and 
cognition in an innovative study of how readers engage with challenging 
literature, this book makes a significant contribution to the debates surrounding 
multimodal design and multimodal reading. Drawing on cognitive linguistics, 
cognitive psychology, neuroscience, semiotics, visual perception, visual 
communication, and multimodal analysis, Gibbons provides a sophisticated set 
of critical tools for analysing the cognitive impact of multimodal literature.
