This book looks at veteran novelist Thomas Berger best known for his wry explorations of the dialectic between the great American dream and the realities of middle-class American life, a frustrating nexus where characters might win knowledge and language but still lack opportunity for action. Berger's uncanny ability to satirize literary genres while participating in them has defined his career and led to such novels as his classic Westerns Little Big Man and The Return of Little Big Man, his hard-boiled detective story Who Is Teddy Villanova?, his Arthurian romance Arthur Rex, and his epic Reinhart series. The author approaches these works thematically to advance understanding of Berger's motives, influences, techniques, style, and language. According to the author, the limitations of language and its competition with thought are most central to the conflict for Berger's characters. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
