The dissident voice in US culture might almost be said to have
been born with the territory. Its span runs from Roger Williams to
Thoreau, Anne Bradstreet to Gertrude Stein, Ambrose Bierce to the
New Journalism, The Beats to the recent Bad Subjects cyber-crowd.
In this new study, A. Robert Lee aims to explore those
counter-seams of modern American writing that sit outside, or at
least awkwardly within, agreed literary canons. Specifically, Lee
analyses three recent literary branches in the tradition: a
re-envisioning of the whole Beat web or circuit; a consortium of
postwar "outrider" voices Hunter Thompson to Joan Didion to Kathy
Acker; and a latest purview of what, all too casually, has been
designated "ethnic" writing.
