Genre Satire Transformation - HOME Genre Satire Transformation Road-Book America: Contemporary Culture and the New Picaresque by Rowland A. Sherrill, In this wide-ranging and sophisticated study, Rowland Sherrill explores the resurgence and transformation of an old literary form -- the picaresque narrative -- into a new form that he shows to be both responsive and instructive to late twentieth-century American life.

Sherrill's discussion encompasses hundreds of American narratives published in the past four decades, including such examples of the genre as William Least Heat Moon's Blue Highways, John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, James Leo Herlihy's Midnight Cowboy, Bill Moyers's Listening to America, and E. L. Doctorow's Billy Bathgate. Sketching the socially marginal, ingenuous, traveling characters common to both old and ...

Original Contemporary Art - HOME Original Contemporary Art Endquote: Sots-Art Literature and Soviet Grand Style by Marina Balina, Sots-art, the mock use of the Soviet ideological cliches of mass culture, originated in Soviet nonconformist art of the early 1970s. In literature, Sots-art stands out as one of the most distinct directions in late-twentieth-century Russian culture both in its explicit aesthetic confrontation with Soviet history and in its capacity, after many decades of socialist realism, to integrate Russian literature back into the world literary process. Sots-art has had a profound influence on ...
