Tracing major forms of suburban associations – racial divisions, property lines, the family, and ethnic fealty – these works depict a different mode of interaction than the stereotypical white picket fences. Joseph George draws from philosophers such as Emmanuel Levinas and Roberto Esposito to argue that these fictions assert a critical hospitality that frustrates the limited forms of association on which suburbia is based. This fiction, in turn, posits an ethical form of community that comes about when people share space together.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Suburban Fiction; American Literature; Twentieth-Century Literature; Postmodern Philosophy; John Cheever | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-41006-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-82239-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-41006-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
