Understanding Contemporary American Literature was planned as a series of guides or companions for students as well as good nonacademic readers. The word understanding in the series titles was deliberately chosen. Many willing readers lack an adequate understanding of how contemporary literature works: that is, what the author is attempting to express and the means by which it is conveyed. These volumes provide instruction in how to read certain contemporary writers—identifying and explicating their material, themes, use of language, point of view, structures, symbolism, and responses to experience.




Stephen Jan Parker is co-editor of The Achievements of Vladimir Nabokov, co-author of Russian on Canvas: Ilya Repin, and authors of articles in American Literature, Journal of Modern Literature, Dictionary of Literary Nabokovian and co-founder of the Vladimir Nabokov Society. He is Professor and Chairman of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas.
