American Literature and the Long Downturn
Neoliberal Apocalypse
Dan Sinykin
- Offers a theory to account for ubiquitous apocalypticism in contemporary American literature
- Provides a coherent periodization of contemporary American literature
- Includes archival research that has never been published before including new interpretations of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead, and David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
PROFESSOR SINYKIN TWEETED:
''I wrote a book. Out very soon! It is horribly timely. It tells how we came to our apocalyptic moment—and what it's meant for literature. Baldwin, Silko, Wallace. White nationalism, dispensationalism. Cli-fi. Trump. Pre-order for your local library, pleeze!
