Book Synopsis The Hero in Contemporary American Fiction by : S. Halldorson
Download or read book The Hero in Contemporary American Fiction written by S. Halldorson. This book was released on 2007-12-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out to write nothing short of a new theory of the heroic for today's world. It delves into the "why" of the hero as a natural companion piece to the "how" of the hero as written by Northrop Frye and Joseph Campbell over half a century ago. The novels of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo serve as an anchor to the theory as it challenges our notions of what is heroic about nymphomaniacs, Holocaust survivors, spurious academics, cult followers, terrorists, celebrities, photographers and writers of novels who all attempt to claim the right to be "hero."
