Multicultural American Literature

Lee is dazzingly well read and articulate, and his perceptive analyses are guaranteed to delight and, on occasion, infuriate his readers. Multicultural American Literature is a wonderfully intelligent contribution to the continuing debate about the nature of the canon of United States Literature. Multicultural American Literature weaves together wide-ranging interpretations of American writing into a study with near encyclopaedic breadth! Lee's ten chapters cover dozens of novels and poems in extensive chains of capsule interpretations and flurries of deft contextual sketches, covering a plurality of experiences and modes of writing. A full, detailed and carefully comparative analysis of recent American 'ethnic' writing from an author with an unparalleled knowledge of his subject. Timely, wide-ranging and informative.
