520 1 $a"Suggesting that a modernism and post-modernism division prevents accurate evaluation of a work, Nel realigns our conceptions of twentieth-century literature, art, and music. Focusing on eight figures - Nathanael West, Djuna Barnes, Dr. Seuss, Donald Barthelme, Don DeLillo, Chris Van Allsburg, Laurie Anderson, and Leonard Cohen - as representative, The Avant-Garde and American Postmodernity examines works along a spectrum of political involvement.".
520 8 $a"Unencumbered by excessive jargon but deeply rooted in theories of postmodernity, Nel's work has an accessible style, maintaining a balance between high theory and popular discourse."--BOOK JACKET.
