Description
The Program Era: A New Understanding of Postwar American Fiction Mark McGurl's groundbreaking study reinterprets postwar American literature in relation to the rise of mass higher education and the creative writing program. By examining how the university has shaped American literature, McGurl reveals a complex constellation of aesthetic problems that have been explored by authors such as Flannery O'Connor, Vladimir Nabokov, Philip Roth, and Toni Morrison. Through transformative readings of these writers, McGurl argues that the creative writing program has generated new challenges for literary production. This engaging and stylishly written book offers a fresh perspective on postwar literature and culture, one that will be central to debates about this era for years to come. With its insightful analysis and nuanced understanding of American fiction, The Program Era is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the evolution of literary studies.
