Обкладинка James Giles: Spaces of Violence (ePUB)

Probes the interrelationship of violence and space in ten contemporary American novels In The Spaces of Violence, James R. Giles examines ten contemporary American novels for the unique ways in which they explore violence and space as interrelated phenomena. These texts are Russell Banks s Affliction, Cormac Mc Carthy s Outer Dark and Child of God, Lewis Nordan s Wolf Whistle, Dorothy Allison s Bastard Out of Carolina, Don De Lillo s End Zone, Denis Johnson s Angels, Sherman Alexie s Indian Killer, Robert Stone s Dog Soldiers, and Bret Easton Ellis s American Psycho. A concluding chapter extends the focus to texts by Jane Smiley, Toni Morrison, Edwidge Danticat, and Chuck Palahniuk, who treat the destructive effects of violence on family structures.
