States of Suspense is about the representation of this nuclear age in United States literature from 1945-2005. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of American literature, and postmodern and technological culture. It will also be of interest to those more generally intrigued by the cultural fallout of the nuclear age."--Jacket. ER -
