The volumes premise is that the disruptions and dislocations that were so exacerbated by the political ascendancy of Trump and his spectacle-laden presidency have unsettled core assumptions about American reality and the possibilities of representation. The blurring of the relationship between fact and fiction, bolstered by the discourses of fake news and alternative facts, has not only drawn attention to the shattering of any notion of shared reality, but has also forced a reexamination of the purpose and value of literature, especially when considering its troubled relation to the representation of America. The authors in this collection respond to the invitation to reassess the workings of fiction and critique in an age of Trumpism by considering some of the most recent literary responses to the (new) American realit(ies)including works by Colson Whitehead, Ben Winters, Claudia Rankine, Gary Shteyngart, Jennifer Egan, and Steve Erickson, to name but a few, some of which were composed in the run-up to the 2016 election but were able to accurately and incisively imagine the world to come. 001448922 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001448922 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$y21st century$$xHistory and criticism. 001448922 650_0 $$aPolitics in literature. 001448922 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001448922 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001448922 7001_ $$aResano, Dolores,$$eeditor. 001448922 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030738574$$z9783030738570$$w(OCoLC)1244255856 001448922 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAmerican literature in the era of Trumpism$$z9783030738570$$w(OCoLC)1328027509 001448922 830_0 $$aAmerican literature readings in the 21st century. 001448922 852__ $$bebk 001448922 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73858-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001448922 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1448922$$pGLOBAL_SET 001448922 980__ $$aBIB 001448922 980__ $$aEBOOK 001448922 982__ $$aEbook 001448922 983__ $$aOnline 001448922 994__ $$a92$$bISE
