The Review's aesthetic focus has been called many
things—postmodern, experimental, avant-garde, metafictional,
subversive—but in bringing this aesthetic to a wider audience it also
seeks to expose the artificial barriers that exist between and within
cultures. To this end, The Review has a special affinity for
the works of foreign writers who may otherwise go unread in the United
States, as well as American writers whose work has gone unchampioned in
their own country. An extensive book review section also covers recent
works of innovative writing. Above all, The Review of Contemporary Fiction attempts to expand readers' notions of what fiction is and what it can do.
