Recenzii

'Citing leaders in contemporary postmodern scholarship, and with repeated and acute references to American literary history (particularly Emerson and Melville), Turner (Univ. of Exeter, UK) revisits the complex, multivalenced, postmodernist works of Marguerite Young, William Gaddis, William S. Burroughs, and Thomas Pynchon … Turner does a good job of situating these authors' works in contemporary scholarship … This is a timely treatment of American postmodernist prose.' C. B. Ewing, Choice
