      abstract = {Mass-Market Fiction and the Crisis of American Liberalism,  1972-2017 tracks the transformation of liberal thought in  the contemporary United States through the unique lens of  the popular paperback. The book focuses on cultural shifts  as they appear in works written by some of the most  widely-read authors of the last fifty years: the idea of  love within a New Economy (Danielle Steel), the role of  government in scientific inquiry (Michael Crichton),  entangled political alliances and legacies in the aftermath  of the 1960s (Tom Clancy), the restructured corporation  (John Grisham), and the blurred line between state and  personal empowerment (Dean Koontz). To address the current  crisis, this book examines how the changed character of  American liberalism has been rendered legible for a mass  audience.},
