Description

As a literary genre, academic fiction has emerged in recent years as one of the most popular modes for satirizing the cultural conflicts and sociological nuances inherent in campus life. Drawing upon recent insights in ethical criticism and moral philosophy, Postwar Academic Fiction: Satire, Ethics, Community offers new readings of fictional and nonfictional works by such figures as Kingsley Amis, Vladimir Nabokov, Joyce Carol Oates, David Lodge, David Mamet, Ishmael Reed, Sandra M.Gilbert and Susan Gubar and Jane Smiley. Review '...this book (and the satires it discusses) might be instructive to university faculty, who often take themselves too seriously.' - J.C. Kohl, Choice About the Author KENNETH WOMACK is Assistant Professor of English at the Pennsylvania State University's Altoona College. He has published widely on twentieth-century British and American literature as well as on bibliographical and textual criticism.
