Description

This scholarly volume examines eight landmark novels from the postwar period (1945-65) alongside their film adaptations created between 1985 and 2012, offering a comprehensive analysis of how literature shaped and reflected the global counterculture movement of 1965-75. The study spans works by Ken Kesey, Paul Bowles, Carson McCullers, Jack Kerouac, James Baldwin, Alexander Trocchi, William Burroughs, and Peter Matthiessen, tracing how these novels prefigured the counterculture's diverse expressions and ideological shifts. By comparing the original texts with their cinematic interpretations across nearly three decades, this Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature title provides critical reassessment of both the literary achievements and cultural significance of postwar fiction. The analysis reveals how novelists of this era captured the emerging countercultural values, artistic innovation, and social resistance that would define an entire generation. Essential reading for literature scholars, film studies researchers, and anyone interested in twentieth-century American cultural history and the relationship between literature and cinema.
