Review Quotes:
'Analyses the relationship of post-war American literature with business in a book that is organised provocatively along lines of race and sex' The Guardian
'Sweeping in its search to connect seemingly disparate influences in post-war American literature and its evolution in parallel with the increasing globalisation. Highly recommended' - Library Bookwatch
