Modern American Counter Writing - Lee, A. Robert (Nihon University, Japan)

A study that explores those counter-seams of modern American writing that sit outside, or at least awkwardly within, agreed literary canons. It analyses three literary branches in the tradition: a re-envisioning of the whole Beat web or circuit; a consortium of postwar 'outrider' voices; and, a purview of what has been designated 'ethnic' writing.
