Contemporary American Literature : Poetry, Fiction, Drama and Criticism offers a cohesive picture of contemporary American Literature which has assumed more importance and relevance to global situation today than ever before. The Volume includes essays on most of the major literary genres being practised today and discusses in detail some of the important trends and tendencies in contemporary American Literature. It covers a large variety of writers from Saul Bellow to Bharati Mukherjee, from James Dickey to Adrienne Rich, from Kurt Vannegut to Michelle Morris and from Alice Walker to Marsha Norman. Such a vast range of contemporary issues in American Literature should map properly the literary scenario of contemporary America. The Volume, it is believed, is an invaluable addition to the gamut of American literary criticism and extremely useful for the students of Contemporary American Literature and for the Common readers willing to know literary trends in contemporary America.
