Mixed Realism: Videogames and the Violence of Fiction

Timothy J. Welsh

Timothy Welsh shows how videogames, like novels, both promise and trouble experiences of immersion. From David Foster Wallace to the cult-classic videogame Eternal Darkness and from Cormac McCarthy to Grand Theft Auto, Mixed Realism offers a fresh perspective on digital games and contemporary literature as well as a new understanding of the expanding role of virtuality in contemporary life.
