"Literature, Moderns, Monsters, Popsters and Us" is a selection
from more than one hundred articles, reviews and essays written by
George Stade and first published in journals such as "Partisan
Review", "Hudson Review", "Paris Review", "Harper's", "The Nation",
"The New Republic" and "The New York Times Book Review". Stade
challenges with his controversial contention that "womanism" has
triumphed over "manism" and his wit flies with a rip-roaring
excursion into "snot, navel-fluff and toe-jam" in an examination of
James Joyce's "Ulysses". The collection includes: Psychoanalysis
and the horror genre; Popular fiction; Poetry, including e.e.
cummings and Sylvia Plath; Frisch and Durrenmatt; McCarthyism; and
Modern British fiction.
