Phonographs, tapes, stereo LPs, digital remix - how did these
remarkable technologies impact American writing? This book explores
how twentieth-century writers shaped the ways we listen in our
multimedia present. Uncovering a rich new archive of materials,
this book offers a resonant reading of how writers across several
genres, such as John Dos Passos, Langston Hughes, William S.
Burroughs, and others, navigated the intermedial spaces between
texts and recordings. Numerous scholars have taken up remix - a
term co-opted from DJs and sound engineers - as the defining
aesthetic of twenty-first century art and literature. Others have
examined modernism's debt to the phonograph. But in the gap between
these moments, one finds that the reciprocal relationship between
the literary arts and sonic technologies continued to evolve over
the twentieth century. A mix of American literary history, sound
studies, and media archaeology, this interdisciplinary study will
appeal to scholars, students, and audiophiles.
