Nobody's home : speech, self, and place in American fiction from Hawthorne to DeLillo

Author:	Arnold L Weinstein
Publisher:	New York : Oxford University Press, 1993.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Focusing on some of the deepest instincts of American life and culture--individual liberty, freedom of speech, constructing a life--Arnold Weinstein brilliantly sketches the remarkable career of the American self over the past one hundered fifty years in major works by such authors as Herman Melville and Mark Twain to contemporary authors such as Toni Morrison and Robert Coover. He contends that American writers are haunted by the twin specters of the self as a mirage, as Nobody, and by the brutal forces of culture and ideology that deny selfhood to people on the basis of money, sex, and color of skin. Revealing American fiction as a fascinating record of the human flight against coercion, this study fashions a rich and supple view of the American novel as a writerly form of freedom, in sharp contrast to today's critical emphasis on blindness and co-option.  Read more...
