Автор:Kenneth Fearing Год: 2004 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 230 ISBN: 193108257, 193108257X, 193108257X Book Description Poet, journalist, and crime novelist, Kenneth Fearing (1902?61) wrote poems filled with the lingo of advertising and radio broadcasts and tabloid headlines, sidewalk political oratory, and the pop tunes on the jukebox. He evoked thejitters of the Depression and the war years in a voice alternately sardonic and melancholy, and depicted a fragmenting urban world bom-barded by restless desires and unnerving fears. But this portraitist of his era also foreshadowed much that was to comein American writing. This volume reveals him as a vernacular prophet of media culture and consumerism, and at the same time as a lyric poet of tremendous gifts.
