Fire And Power: The American Space Program As Postmodern Narrative,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Fire and Power William D. Atwill maps the cultural contours of spaceage America through readings of some of the eras most popular and influential narratives: Saul Bellows Mr. Sammlers Planet, John Updikes Rabbit Redux, Norman Mailers Of a Fire on the Moon, Tom Wolfes The Right Stuff, Thomas Pynchons Gravitys Rainbow, and Don DeLillos Ratners Star. Together, Atwill demonstrates, these key texts comprise a literary history of the space age, an exploration of the novels possibilities in uncertain times, and a disturbing critique of postwar society.The massive technological enterprise known as the Manned Space Program was, in Atwills words, the historical marker of our age, and in our race to the moon, he says, Bellow, Updike, Mailer, Wolfe, Pynchon, and DeLillo found a trope for the postmodern condition. To these writers, the space program was the most visible and outward sign of a radical shift in the culture that fostered ita shift from modernisms search for interior, individual unity amidst chaos to the postmodern perception of the individuals fragmentation and uncertain standing in the world.
