Book Description
The reissue of Joseph Wenke?s thoughtful study, Mailer?s America, provides renewed hope for a deeper understanding of Mailer?s work. No other commentator has focused so relentlessly on the deepest purpose of Mailer?s hugely varied oeuvre, namely to ?clarify a nation?s vision of itself.? Wenke?s examination inhabits, patrols and maps the territory between the millennial promise of America and its often dispiriting actuality. His study contains probing, nuanced and careful examinations of all Mailer?s work though the mid-1980s, including one of the first major examinations of Mailer?s most demanding novel, Ancient Evenings. Wenke?s book deserves a wide audience, and is essential reading for all who have enjoyed Mailer?s work. J. Michael Lennon, author of the authorized biography, Norman Mailer: A Double Life

An Experiment in Misery

Category : Fiction
ISBN : 0061911909
Book Description
Though best known for The Red Badge of Courage, his classic novel of men at war, in his tragically brief life and career Stephen Crane produced a wealth of stories—among them "The Monster," "The Upturned Face," "The Open Boat," and the title story—that stand among the most acclaimed and enduring in the history of American fiction. This superb volume collects stories of unique power and variety in which impressionistic, hallucinatory, and realistic situations alike are brilliantly conveyed through the cold, sometimes brutal irony of Crane's narrative voice.
