{"product_id":"literature-and-race-in-los-julian-murphet-9780521801492","title":"Literature and Race in Los Angeles","description":"This book analyzes contemporary literature in Los Angeles in relation to the city's form, its visual character and its recent political history. Writers such as Bret Easton Ellis and James Ellroy are considered as responding to racial and ethnic partitioning in LA, as well as to increasing cultural homogeneity. Unlike other books on contemporary American literature, this book builds a composite portrait of a single literary scene in order to demonstrate the significance of writing in a tendentially post-literate culture, and the difficulties of literary representation in a city committed to visual representation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Murphet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521801494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521801492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Julian Murphet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422317003007,"sku":"9780521801492","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e268c81f-bfcd-4e84-be8c-32d84cfa9a07.jpg?v=1761527620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-and-race-in-los-julian-murphet-9780521801492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
