GILES examines
10
contemporary
American novels for the unique ways they ex¬
plore violence and space as interrelated phe¬
nomena. These texts are Russell Banks s Afflic¬
tion, Cormac McCarthy s Outer Dark and
Child of Cod, Lewis Nordan s Wolf Whistle,
Dorothy Allison s Bastard Out of Carolina, Don
DeLillo s End Zone, Denis Johnson s Angels,
Sherman Alexie s Indian Killer, Robert Stone s
Dog Soldiers, and Bret Easton Ellis s American
Psycho.
These stories take place in settings as
diverse as small towns, college campuses, sub¬
urbs, the brokerage houses and luxury apart¬
ments of Wall Street, football stadiums, Appa¬
lachian hills, and America s no-man s-land of
Greyhound bus stations and highways. Vio¬
lence, Giles finds, is mythological and ritualis¬
tic in many of these novels, whereas it is treat¬
ed as systemic and naturalistic in others. Giles
locates each of the novels he studies on a con¬
tinuum from the mythological to the naturalistic
and argues that they represent a fourthspace
at the margins of physical, social, and psycho¬
logical space, a territory at the cultural borders
of the mainstream. These textual spaces are so
saturated with violence that they suggest little
or no potential for change and affirmation and
are as degraded as the physical, social, and
mental spaces from which they emerge.
A concluding chapter extends the focus of
The Spaces of Violence to texts by Jane Smiley,
Toni
Morrison, Edwidge Danticat, and Chuck
Palahniuk, who treat the destructive effects of
violence on family structures.
