Slipstream Fiction

Slipstream is a genre based on far-fetched creative writing. This type of literature addresses various aspects related to scientific and conventional theories. According to certain philosophers, films and other artistic pieces categorized in this class make one experience both weird and wonderful feelings. This is because of the innovation involved in this classification that seeks to stimulate the audience’s sensitivity. Consequently, some of these analysts term the genre as the fiction of strangeness. This theory has set off several debates over the years where academics discuss claims that either support or differ with the genre’s existence. For example, James Patrick and John Kessel are famous for their literature compilation that dismisses assertions that slipstream is a developing art category. Nonetheless, they do not provide concrete evidence to show that slipstream is either an independent genre or a mythical outcome. As shown by several manuscripts, slipstream is indeed an emergent literature category

In their text album, Feeling Very Strange, the two scholars assert that slipstream is a developing genre while at the same time comparing it to other stylistic devices such as comedy and horror. Theodora’s piece, The Rapid Advance of Sorrow, offers substantial support to the paper’s thesis. The manuscript is part of the text collection of Lake County Romance Writers (LCRW) in New York. The author bases his fictitious story on a romantic letter to his childhood girlfriend.

He sits in a café and addresses the letter to a girl whose whereabouts he does not know. This is evident when he says, “If you see her, will you tell me?” He proceeds to describe various occasions that characterized their relationship. The fact that he vividly recalls the intricate details of the young woman and the various conversations they had, illustrates intense creativity in the book. For example, he describes her reaction after he acknowledged the exquisiteness of her name. He also illustrates that they engaged in sexual relations severally.

Based on these reasons, one would be correct to assert that the narrative is in the slipstream genre. He uses stylistic effects such as humor to develop the story within the art category. Bright Morning is also a literature piece that supports the paper’s thesis. The creative text, which is in the Feeling Very Strange album, uses imaginary tales to achieve its objective of stimulating the audience’s sensitivity. For example, the author describes a township with a panopticon that hangs around the clouds. He also paints a picture of a monster that sucks human blood through the ears. This makes the audience to experience bizarre and astonishing feelings concurrently. Although the audience may question the possibility of such features, their amazing nature is overwhelming. This makes the narrative qualify in the slipstream genre.

Based on its definition, slipstream is a class of artistic pieces, whether visual or audio, which causes the audience to experience fantasy. It is therefore, groundless to argue that these literature works use slipstream as a literary effect. Although the stories classified in this genre do not necessarily tackle scientific or historical fiction stories, they address several aspects related to the present world. This includes love, crime, and trade. Moreover, they use certain effects such as humor, horror, and satire to meet their objectives. This therefore, disapproves slipstream as a mythical effect and supports the paper’s hypothesis.
