Abstract

Modem fiction is quite distinct from fiction of the modern times. The essence of modern fiction cannot be grasped with a mere analysis of its structure. It is necessary to make an inquiry into the "third term" in a text, something transcendental that is in a dialectical interaction with reality outside of it The "third term" is a sort of effect brought about by intrinsic delay or "perceptive blank" in the act of reading. Such a transcendental moment in modern fiction will be of much help in dealing with the chaotic conditions of our society.
