Book Overview

"Savor it for itself." --New York Times

First published in 1986, American Made brought together experimental work by many of the most innovative authors of the day: Ronald Sukenick, Curtis White, Mark Leyner, Thomas Glynn, Larry McCaffery, George Chambers, Russell Banks, Jonathan Baumbach, Jerry Bumpus, Moira Crone, Raymond Federman, B. H Friedman, Marianne Hauser, Fanny Howe, Harold Jaffe, Steve Katz, Norman Lavers, Clarence Major, Ursule Molinaro, and Peter Spielberg.

Among the nineteen works in this collection, some retain the surface features of realistic fiction. Other present the unreal in ways akin to fable or allegory. Still others are metafiction that highlights the fiction-making process itself. American Made is labyrinth of visceral, particularized worlds, each emanating from its own rules, voices, ambiguities, and textures. They continue to revitalize readers' relationship to language itself.
