{"product_id":"charles-bukowski-outsider-literature-and-paul-clements-9780415807593","title":"Charles Bukowski, Outsider Literature, and the Beat Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider. Clements considers the complexities, ambiguities, and contradictions represented by the author and his work, exploring Bukowski's visceral writing of the cultural ordinary and everyday self-narrative. The study considers Bukowski's apolitical, gendered, and working-class stance to understand how the writer represents reality and is represented with regards to counter-cultural literature. In addition, Clements provides a broader socio-cultural focus that evaluates counterculture in relation to the American beat movement and mythology, highlighting the male cool anti-hero. The cultural practices and discourses utilized to situate Bukowski include the individual and society, outsiderdom, cult celebrity, fan embodiment, and disneyfication, providing a greater understanding of the beat generation and counterculture literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Clements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041580759X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415807593\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Clements","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46685598056703,"sku":"9780415807593","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfa40adb-f8a4-4009-8fcd-819a4b053f58.jpg?v=1741726203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/charles-bukowski-outsider-literature-and-paul-clements-9780415807593","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
