A New Fiedler Reader

Description:

Leslie Fiedler`s radical opinions and theories have changed the way we think about literature and pop culture, challenging long-established schools and ushering in a genre of first-person, experience-based criticism. Praised and respected as "one of the most important figures in the history of American cultural thought in this century, " Fiedler introduced groundbreaking ideas that now permeate university studies in literature. Designed to delight Fiedler`s contemporary audience and introduce the author to a whole new generation of readers, A New Fiedler Reader is a captivating anthology of Fiedler`s most notorious and celebrated essays, along with a selection of his engaging poems and short fiction. Fiedler is among those who urged legalization of marijuana in the late `60s; suggested that college students read Timothy Leary along with Milton; and was accused of corrupting the young with dangerous leftist ideas. Collected are Fiedler`s most widely known articles, from "Come Back to the Raft Ag`in, Huck Honey!" to "An Almost Imaginary Interview: Hemingway in Ketchum." Complementing these essays are various lesser known poems and short stories, providing the reader with the complete Fiedler experience.
