Liberalism and American Literature in the Clinton Era argues that a
new, post-postmodern aesthetic emerges in the 1990s as a group of
American writers - including Mary Gaitskill, George Saunders,
Richard Powers, Karen Tei Yamashita, and others - grapples with the
political triumph of free-market ideology. The book shows how these
writers resist the anti-social qualities of this frantic right-wing
shift while still performing its essential gesture, the
personalization of otherwise irreducible social antagonisms. Thus,
we see these writers reinvent political struggles as differences in
values and emotions, in fictions that explore non-antagonistic
social forms like families, communities and networks. Situating
these formally innovative fictions in the context of the
controversies that have defined this rightward shift - including
debates over free trade, welfare reform, and family values - Brooks
details how American writers and politicians have reinvented
liberalism for the age of pro-capitalist consensus.
