Abstract

In this bold book, Samuel Cohen asserts the literary and historical importance of the period between the fall of the Berlin wall and that of the Twin Towers in New York. With refreshing clarity, he examines six 1990's novels and two post-9/11 novels that explore the impact of the end of the Cold War: Pynchon's Mason & Dixon, Roth's American Pastoral, Morrison's Paradise, O'Brien's In the Lake of the Woods, Didion's The Last Thing He Wanted, Eugenides's Middlesex, Lethem's Fortress of Solitude, and DeLillo's Underworld. Cohen emphasizes how these works reconnect the past to a present that is iro

Abstract

In Marriage, Violence and the Nation in the American Literary West, William R. Handley examines literary interpretations of the Western American past. Handley argues that although scholarship provides a narrative of western history that counters optimistic story of frontier individualism by focusing on the victims of conquest, twentieth-century American fiction tells a different story of intra-ethnic violence surrounding marriages and families. He examines works of historiography,as well as writing by Zane Grey, Willa Cather, Wallace Stegner and Joan Didion among others, to argue that these works highlight white Americans' anxiety about what happens to American 'character' when domestic enemies such as Indians and Mormon polygamists, against whom the nation had defined itself in the nineteenth century, no longer threaten its homes. Handley explains that once its enemies are gone, imperialism brings violence home in retrospective narratives that allegorise national pasts and futures through intimate relationships.

Abstract

Politics, Desire, and the Hollywood Novel pays close attention to six authors-Nathanael West, Raymond Chandler, Budd Schulberg, Joan Didion, Bruce Wagner, and Elmore Leonard-who have toiled in the film industry and written to tell about it. More specifically, Rhodes considers both screenplays and novels with an eye toward the different formulations of sexuality, art, and ultimately political action that exist in these two kinds of storytelling.

Abstract

In deze nieuwe bundeling van verhalen over kunst, lezen en leven schrijft Zwagerman met het elan en de gedrevenheid die inmiddels zijn handelsmerk zijn geworden. Uitgangspunt voor Kennis is geluk is zijn tomeloze nieuwsgierigheid. Waarom spelen knuckleheads altijd een hoofdrol in de films van de Coen Brothers? Hoeveel soorten stilte bestaan er precies? Waarom maakt een kunstenaar een portret van Adolf Hitler als broze, breekbare man? Wie lijden er meer aan het leven in de serie Mad Men, de mannen of de vrouwen? Wat is het geheim van het licht in de schilderijen van Vermeer? Waarom huilen mensen sneller bij het luisteren naar muziek dan bij het bekijken van een kunstwerk? Zwagerman slaagt erin zijn lezers gelukkig te maken door zijn kennis niet te etaleren of droogjes over te brengen, maar doordat hij allerlei informatie onnadrukkelijk verbindt met zijn persoonlijke observaties, indrukken en herinneringen. Kennis is geluk.
