Description

Book Synopsis

'Suburban Ambush' tells the story of the reinvention of American fiction. It draws its title from a piece by Ron Kolm which has appeared in several versions and nearly twenty magazines around the world: the conceit of a military strike on the heart of Suburbia has considerable resonance.



Trade Review
Siegle is at once a patient literary historian and a trail blazing theorist of the type who is needed every twenty or so years; as such Suburban Ambush should be the study that will set the terms of debate in the decade now underway. Modern Fiction Studies
