Love and death in the American novel
(Book)
"This work views in depth both American literature and character from the time of the American Revolution to the present. From it, there emerges Fiedler's once scandalous - now increasingly accepted - judgment that our literature is incapable of dealing with adult sexuality and is pathologically obsessed with death."--Jacket.
