The slipstream genre is a term denoting forms of speculative fiction that blend together science fiction, fantasy, and literary fiction[1] or do not remain in conventional boundaries of genre and narrative. It directly extends from the experimentation of the New Wave science fiction movement while also borrowing from fantasy, psychological fiction, philosophical fiction and other genres or styles of literature.
Historical examples of the genre were partially codified in Feeling Very Strange: The Slipstream Anthology, while contemporary examples include Peaces by Helen Oyeyemi, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enríquez, and The Butterfly Lampshade by Aimee Bender.[2]
