'Rich girl meets poor boy who liberates her then dies.' Or,
'low-life girl is trashed by lower-life boy.' The contemporary
middle-class fictions of poverty that inform films such as
"Titanic" and "Kids" are a far cry from the nineteenth-century
genres: rags-to-riches stories and seduction tales. Our fictions of
class turn the older tales upside down. By the surprising
juxtaposition of recent films and the classic writings and unusual
lives of Zora Neale Hurston, Stephen Crane, Henry Miller, and
Michel Foucault, the book shocks the reader into a reappraisal of
these authors' works and lives, our myths about class, and
poststructural theory.
