  • Notes

    • "Leslie Fiedler and American culture have made a tumultuous marriage throughout much of the twentieth century. Fiedler’s prolific career, as scholar, critic, novelist, memoirist, translator, and professor, has been a series of provocations." "Leslie Fiedler and American Culture marks the start of its subject’s ninth decade. The first such collection devoted entirely to Fiedler, it gathers together spirited responses to his work by scholars, critics, and poets."–BOOK JACKET
