Love and Death in the American Novel

Leslie A. Fiedler

Original title: Love and death in the American novel

earliest edition we have, 1975 Stein & Day Pub, 1975 paperback 512 pages

This work views in depth both American literature and character from the time of the American Revolution to the present. From it, there emerges Fiedler's once scandalous - now increasingly accepted - judgment that our literature is incapable of dealing with adult sexuality and is pathologically obsessed with death.
