Mercer, Erin,1977-

Repression and realism in post-war American literature[electronic resource] /Erin Mercer. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2011. - 1 online resource (viii, 249 p.) - American literature readings in the twenty-first century. - American literature readings in the 21st century..

Includes bibliographical references.

Missing in action: repression, return, and the postwar uncanny -- Automatons and the atomic abyss: Norman Mailer's The naked and the dead -- Haunting and race: Ralph Ellison's Invisible man -- The sacred other: Flannery O'Connor's Wise blood -- The dubious double: Saul Bellow's The victim -- The familiar made strange: Paul Bowles' The sheltering sky -- Repression and confession: Jack Kerouac's On the road -- The concealment that fails to conceal.

Despite the devasation of combat in WWII, the Holocaust, and the atomic bomb, the fiction produced in America in the decade following resolutely avoided the events and their implications. Repression and Realism in Postwar American Literature challenges popular notions regarding the ability of fantasy genres to force a confrontation with repressed horror by exploring the ways realist literature became a subversive site of reified taboo in America following World War II.
