Through the perspectives of selected best-selling
novels from the end of World War II to the end
of the 20th century
—
including The Catcher in
the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Godfather, Jaws,
Beloved, The Silence of the Lambs, and Jurassic
Park
—
this book examines the crucial issues the U.S.
was experiencing during those decades. These novels
represent the voices of popular conversations, as
Americans considered issues of family, class, racism and
sexism, feminism, economic ambition, sexual violence,
war, law, religion and science.
Through the windows of fiction, the book surveys
the Cold War and anti-communism, the prefeminist era
of the
1950s
and the sexual revolution of the
1970s,
forms of corporate power in the
1960s
and
1980s,
the
traumatic legacies of slavery and Vietnam, the American
fascination with lawyers, cops and criminals, alternate
styles of romance in the era of late capitalism, our
abiding distrust of science, and our steadfast wonder
about the Great Mysteries.
