X Abstract

In this book Tony Hilfer offers a complete survey of postwar American fiction. He covers major figures such as Faulkner and McCullers in the early part of the period through to contemporary writers such as Bellow, Morrison and Updike. The text covers major modes and genres of writing in the period, from realist to postmodern metafiction and black humour, the fiction of social protext, women's writing and racial minority fiction. In addition, appendices and author biographies plus a full bibliography give the student essential background information. It is aimed at undergraduate courses in modern American literature (options covering American fiction are now widespread in English degree courses). American studies courses have an option covering American fiction.
