This critical study offers a port of entry into Vollmann’s fiction. The Rifles deconstructs the historical novel, and the venture of the 19th-century English explorer John Franklin, revisiting the Gothic genre. This analysis uses close-reading, ecocriticism, and comparative literature to examine a major novel of the post-postmodern canon.
