| چکیده |
"A society once proud of its moral and social progress has now become a society devoted more to desperation and distraction than to continuing the work of building a humane commonwealth. Born in 1941, novelist, critic, and teacher Eric Larsen sees his own lifetime as paralleling the arc of this national dissolution. In three essays, he describes an increasingly desperate situation. A blindness has set in, he argues, producing writers no longer able to write, professors more harmful than helpful, a replacement virtually nation-wide of thinking with feeling - while the population seems unable to grasp even the remotest outlines of such dangerous, radical change." "In the tradition of George Orwell, Upton Sinclair, Paul Goodman, and Christopher Lasch, Eric Larsen offers his critique of where we were, where we are, and where we are going if we don't watch out."--Jacket Includes bibliographical references (pages 283-291) Watching America go blind -- The death of literary thinking in America : how it happened and what it means -- Consumerism, victimology, and the disappearance of the meaningful self |
