Abstract

The Internal Revenue Service Regional Examination Centre in Peoria, Illinois, 1985. Here the minutaie of a million daily lives are totted up, audited and accounted for. Here the workers fight a never-ending war against the urgency of their own boredom. Here then, squeezed between the trivial and the quotidian, lies all human life. And this is David Foster Wallace's towering, brilliant, hilarious and deeply moving final novel.

Abstract

"This ambitious literary history traces the American novel from its emergence in the late eighteenth century to its diverse incarnations in the multi-ethnic, multi-media culture of the present day. In a set of original essays by renowned scholars from all over the world, the volume extends important critical debates and frames new ones. Offering new views of American classics, it also breaks new ground to show the role of popular genres - such as science fiction and mystery novels - in the creation of the literary tradition. One of the original features of this book is the dialogue between the essays, highlighting cross-currents between authors and their works as well as across historical periods. While offering a narrative of the development of the genre, the History reflects the multiple methodologies that have informed readings of the American novel and will change the way scholars and readers think about American literary history"-- "This ambitious literary history traces the American novel from its emergence in the late eighteenth century to its diverse incarnations in the multi-ethnic, multi-media culture of the present. Original essays by internationally renowned scholars present fresh readings of American classics and break new ground to show the role of popular genres - such as science fiction and mystery novels - in the creation of the U.S. literary tradition. In an exciting departure from its predecessors, the essays in this book talk to each other. Their dialogue highlights surprising connections within and across eras. As a collective, interwoven chronicle of the nation's dominant literary genre, The Cambridge History of the American Novel will change the way we think about the history - and the future - of American literature"--

Abstract

Auteur d'un monumental Récit de la guerre de Sécession en trois volumes et de six romans (dont quatre ont été traduits en français : L'Enfant de la fièvre, L'Amour en saison sèche, Tourbillon et Septembre en noir et blanc), Shelby Foote, écrivain contemporain établi à Memphis, capitale du Delta du Mississippi, est issu d'une région - le Sud - qui a fourni à la littérature des États-Unis quelques-uns de ses plus brillants représentants et donné naissance à une riche province des Lettres américaines, la Fiction sudiste. Cette littérature sudiste a, paradoxalement, longtemps été plus prisée à Paris qu'à New-York. Cependant, malgré l'accueil chaleureux que lecteurs et critiques français lui ont réservé, elle n'est pas totalement justiciable des mêmes critères de perception et d'appréciation que les fictions de la vieille Europe. En fait, elle comporte une irréductible part d'étrangeté, et reste pour l'essentiel « un pays lointain » où l'on accède par des voies fort différentes de celles qui permettent d'aborder la littérature européenne. Partant de ce constat, Les Portes du Delta ont pour objectif et ambition de fournir quelques-unes des clés ouvrant l'accès à la connaissance et à la jouissance de la fiction sudiste tout en faisant découvrir l'œuvre, à la fois singulière et exemplaire, d'un écrivain en lequel la critique a reconnu un « artiste consommé, doublé, comme tous les Sudistes, d'un artisan scrupuleux, virtuose de l'économie formelle et poète de l'histoire ».
