This query is the driving force behind Daniel Grausam's On Endings, which seeks to show how the core texts of American postmodernism are a response to the geopolitical dynamics of the Cold War and especially to the new potential for total nuclear conflict. Postwar American fiction needs to be rethought, he argues, by highlighting postmodern experimentation as a mode of profound historical consciousness. On Endings significantly extends the project of historicizing postmodernism while returning the nuclear to a central place in the study of the Cold War. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Barth, John,|d1930-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n50018099|xCriticism and interpretation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 10 Pynchon, Thomas|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79099184|xCriticism and interpretation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 10 Powers, Richard,|d1957-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n85007982|xCriticism and interpretation.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005576 600 14 Barth, John,|d1930-|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 14 Pynchon, Thomas|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 14 Powers, Richard,|d1957-|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Barth, John,|d1930-|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 5741 600 17 Pynchon, Thomas.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/41846 600 17 Powers, Richard,|d1957-|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/144862 647 7 Cold War|d(1945-1989)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1754978 650 0 American fiction|xHistory and criticism|xTheory, etc. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009114784 650 0 Postmodernism (Literature)|zUnited States.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008109613 650 0 Cold War|xInfluence.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007008323 650 0 Cold War in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh94003689 650 7 Criticism and interpretation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1198648 650 7 American fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807048 650 7 Postmodernism (Literature)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1073181 650 7 Cold War (1945-1989) in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/866988 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGrausam, Daniel, 1975-|tOn endings. |dCharlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 2011 |z9780813931616|w(DLC) 2011008422|w(OCoLC)706803957 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=445676|zOnline eBook.
