Engaging critically with the works of Don DeLillo, Jack Kerouac, Saul Bellow, Flannery O'Connor, Alice Walker, and William Faulkner, Maltby explains how the literary convention of the visionary moment promotes the myth that there is a superior level of knowledge that can redeem or regenerate the individual. He contends that this common-sense assumption is a paradigm that needs to be confronted and critiqued.SUNY Series in Postmodern CultureAmerican fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismPostmodernism (Literature)United StatesVisions in literatureAmerican fictionHistory and criticism.Postmodernism (Literature)Visions in literature.813/.509113Maltby Paul1804425MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972231703321The visionary moment4352442UNINA00793nam0 2200265 450 991104712940332120251217110753.0979128185116020251217d2025----km y0itay50 baitaITy 001yyCodice civile, Codice penale, Codice amministrativoaggiornamento 2025Maurizio Santise, Fabio ZunicaTorinoMerita2025X, 706 p.21 cm348.4502323itaSantise,MaurizioZunica,FabioITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9911047129403321VIII Z 445 (AGG.)2025/1818FGBCFGBCCodice civile, Codice penale, Codice amministrativo4466959UNINA
