On Norman Rush

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Norman Rush, author of Whites, Mating, and Mortals, is one of the finest American writers now working, and, given his achievement, one of the most grievously neglected. The essay below (of which this is the first part) aims to justify the initial claim in the preceding sentence and to explore the reasons for the second. A close examination of Rush's work will make apparent its quality; the neglect of that work may be accounted for by the long gaps between Rush's books, the years he spent living outside America, and his concern with things other than the American experience.
