Transgressive fiction explores the crossing of boundaries. Because of its extreme content and style, it is often considered controversial. However, transgressive fiction is not just shocking or disruptive. It is a continuation of an American tradition of creating culture through the crossing of moral, geographical and social boundaries. Extreme States traces the evolution of American transgressive fiction from the 1960s to 2000, exploring how transgressive fiction reflects, exaggerates and critically interrogates how central American ideologies are perpetually (re)constructed in its extra-textual context.

"Often beheld as sensationalist, transgressive fiction is a sophisticated movement with roots in Menippean satire. With fiction often dealing in taboo concepts, such as sex, drugs, violence, and crime, transgressive fiction is a literary genre devoted to characters that feel confined by the norms and expectations of society, and who ultimately break free of those confines in unusual or illicit ways. Cynical and critical of the myths inherited from tradition, the fiction here rings true for many. This investigation provides a detailed literary background and analysis of key transgressive authors such as Bret Easton Ellis, Ash Lieb, Chuck Palahniuk, Hubert Selby Jr and Irvine Welsh, and includes a thorough examination of their pivotal stories, including American Psycho, Bleach, Fight club, Requiem for a dream, The Technicolor transgressions of the blue rose, and Trainspotting"--Publisher information.

"Bingham writes with an austere and unerring knowledge of what it is to be human and—transgressive."—Paula Fox "These are marvelous stories of experience and have the ripeness of wry, hard-won wisdom."—Phillip Lopate "Bingham has the eye to see where a story lives, the heart to understand it, and the voice—and craft—to tell it."—Robin Morgan In her wise and sexy new collection, Sallie Bingham examines modern-day "transgressions" in affairs of the heart. She offers up a ménage à trois, an older woman’s affair with a student, a painter who uses his age as an excuse to behave indecorously. But the reader quickly discovers the real transgressions are those of the self against the self.

Transgressive fiction authors write stories some are afraid to tell. Stories with taboo subjects, unique voices, shocking images—nothing safe or dry. Burnt Tongues is a collection of transgressive stories hand-selected by Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club, as the best of The Cult Workshop, his official fan website, selected by a rigorous nomination and vetting process. These stories run the gamut from horrific and fantastic to humorous and touching, but each leaves a lasting impression. Some may say even a scar.
