John Updike (Modern Novelists)

A beginner's guide to Updike's novels, this textbook emphasizes the fiction in terms of its responsiveness to historical and social developments, paying particular attention to his treatment of sexuality and the interaction between narrative poetics and social content. Updike's relationship to the formal development of the modern novel is highlighted. Dr Newman has also written "Saul Bellow and History".

Routledge

Drawing on personal interviews, manuscript collections, and the author's unpublished writings, Judie Newman offers a comprehensive study of the work of Alison Lurie from her early involvement in the Poets' Theatre to the AIDS comedy of her most recent novel, The Last Resort (1988).In her profound social and intellectual engagement with American Utopianism, from its historical origins through such contemporary manifestations as Walter Benjamin's Hollywood, the American University, feminist theorisations, the religious cult and the gay heterotopia, and in her intertextual reworkings of folk and fairy tale, biography, diary novel, the ‘International Theme’ and the classic ghost story, Lurie maintains an uncanny ability to serve critical aesthetic purposes within a popular fictional form.Semiotic comedies - comedies of the sign - rather than novels of manners, Lurie's fictions place her squarely within a radical American tradition.
