Overview
The first two decades of the Cold War, 1945-65, Shear (English Pittsburg State U., Kansas) finds characterized by major shocks in world views, as the Soviet Union was transformed from a stalwart ally to deadly enemy, and enemies Germany, Japan, and Italy from hated foes to potential and geographically crucial friends. Also, there was that atomic bomb thing. He explores how the fiction reflected the period, including chapters on Saul Bellow, Peter Taylor, Jack Kerouac, and Kurt Vonnegut. He does not provide an index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
