About this product
Product Information
American Fictions: 1980-2000Whose America Is It Anyway? is a successor volume to my American Fictions: 1940-1980, published in 1983. Like the preceding book, it analyzes what has happened to American fiction (short stories as well as novels) in the last twenty years against a background of social, political, and general cultural events and change, down to the end of the century. It includes most of the major trends in fiction and attempts to be inclusive. Several novels which did not receive their due when they appeared are given extended treatment, such as Brodkey's The Runaway Soul and McElroy's Women and Men; many other novels which were passed by because they were too difficult or too bizarre are discussed in some depth. This book does not include summaries; everything is analyzed extensively. Major movements such as Minimalism, the New Realism, the very long novel (which I call the Mega-Novel), the Vietnam War novel (as compared and contrasted with its World War Two predecessors), the Short Story and its languages are part of the study. The book also introduces a long chapter on the spate of autobiographical-fictional-memoirs which appeared in the 1980s and early 90s; as well as a comparison of Roth's America with Updike's, with the former's Nathan Zuckerman and the latter's Rabbit. Another chapter attempts to show that while Black, Jewish, and Women writers may have differing agendas, they overlap to a great extent as "American writers," not as separate entities. The book concludes with a long chapter on the 1990s and where we are going. A distinctive part of that chapter includes current literature by Latino, Asian-American, and Native-American writers, who in the last two decades or so have entered profoundly into American fictions.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
