The New Surrealism

I'm going to selfishly say what I want to discover is more strangeness in fiction, and by more strangeness I mean the rise of a new surrealism that looks at science fiction and fantasy both askance and and with affection, but is less concerned with building causality and logic and more concerned with restoring a "sense of wonder" without the baggage of the golden age of SF. A sense of wonder that's both ironic and cynical at times and that relies upon huge imaginations blasting out of the traps of "how would that happen" and "I have to figure out how that would work" and letting the dream-logic of charged images and amazing concepts flow. Anchored by compelling characters and stories that wormhole within each other and bestriding the landscape with confidence. We see some of this already in the most mind-bending of manga and anime, and in other manifestations of the imagination that understand there's always a backstory that will work because we live in a multiverse. There's always a reason, an explanation, for anything. On some level, in these post-post times explanations are less useful to us than journeys that expand consciousness, get at psychological truths, and convert the dross of the everyday into something amazing.
