Product Description Although usually discussed in terms of liberal humanism and affirmation of life, Bellows work allows for an interpretation displaying notes of negativity and pessimism, emphasizing Bellows proximity to the postmodernist canon. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of such an alternative reading through the focus on the problem of the genre. Bellows novels are frequently referred to as Bildungsromane, but a related term the Antibildungsroman seems more appropriate to denote texts expressing the limitations of human intellectual vanity, the futility of human endeavours to transform reality according to individual wishes, and the recognition of the direness of human condition only partially redeemed by the intimations of the spiritual reality which can be accessed only through withdrawal. About the Author The Author: Justyna Kociatkiewicz teaches in the Institute of English Studies, University of Wroclaw (Poland), having completed her doctoral dissertation in 2001. She has published on various issues of contemporary American novel, especially the work of Saul Bellow and Don DeLillo. Her interests center on the problem of death, conspiracy and paranoia in contemporary American culture.
