Can rock music help us understand literature? Rock Music in
American Fiction Writing, 1966-2011 argues that a close analysis of
the rock music incorporated into a literary text-an investigation
of the lyrics, a musicological exploration of the sounds and
rhythms, a cultural-historical inquiry into the production and
reception of a song-may yield exciting new insight into and expand
our understanding of American literary production from the mid-20th
century onwards. Reading major works by Joyce Carol Oates, Alice
Walker, Don DeLillo, Jeffrey Eugenides, Sherman Alexie and Jennifer
Egan from such a rock-musicological vantage point, Rock Music in
American Fiction Writing adds a new dimension to recent work in
American literary criticism by seeking to establish rock music as
an analytical tool for literary investigation. The book
concentrates on the way these literary artists have struggled to
come to terms with the dichotomies inherent in rock music-its
liberating and revolutionary impulses as well as its adherence to
the bleakest laws of consumer capitalism-in their work. By
combining a musicological with a literary analysis, Rock Music in
American Fiction Writing highlights the crucial and complex role
rock music has played in shaping the artistic outlook and cultural
sensibilities of literary artists since the 1960s in America and
beyond.
