White Diaspora: The Suburb and the Twentieth-Century American Novel

White Diaspora: The Suburb and the Twentieth-Century American Novel

by Catherine Jurca (Author)

Synopsis

Analyzes our suburban literary tradition. Tracing the suburb's emergence as a crucial setting and subject of the 20th-century American novel, this book identifies a decidedly masculine obsession with the suburban home and a preoccupation with its alternative - the experience of spiritual and emotional dislocation that she terms "homelessness."
