TL;DR: From the unnerving proliferation of critical responses to Pynchon's fiction in the seventeen years since the publication of The Crying of Lot 49, one of the more positive directions to emerge is traceable back to Edward Mendelson's Introduction to the Twentieth Century Views volume of essays as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The authors examined the Hill Street Blues series in terms of narrative theory and found that despite its complexity, ambiguity, and discontinuity, the series maintains its intelligibility primarily through the use of melodrama, a storytelling mode that is characteristically straightforward and ideally suited to the television medium.
Abstract: Hill Street Blues marks a time in American television history when program quality won out over viewer quantity. The purpose of this essay is to explore claims to quality and innovation by examining the program in terms of narrative theory. Through detailed analysis of one episode, the series is revealed as a modernist text that mixes televisual, filmic, and literary forms and conventions. Despite its complexity, ambiguity, and discontinuity, the Hill Street Blues narrative maintains its intelligibility primarily through the use of melodrama, a storytelling mode that is characteristically straightforward and ideally suited to the television medium.

TL;DR: The Uruguayan Juan Carlos Onetti (born 1909) is one of the leading exponents of the new Spanish American novel as discussed by the authors, and a close reading of the novels published between 1939 and 1964, and of Dejemos hablar al viento (191919).
Abstract: The Uruguayan Juan Carlos Onetti (born 1909) is one of the leading exponents of the new Spanish American novel. This study offers a close reading of the novels published between 1939 and 1964, and of Dejemos hablar al viento (1919). Dr Millington traces the various stages of Onetti's existential and artistic evolution and utilises narrative theory to illuminate Onetti's complex fictional world. The analyses in this book rarely offer a straightforward exposition of Onetti's ideas or seek simply to celebrate Onetti; rather there is an implicit respect for the novels' capacity to stand up to and reward rigorous analysis.
