A Place of Growing Up, or Getting Lost: New York and Southern Writers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The study is mapping the role of New York in the lives and works of seven 20th century Southern writers; for some of them it was an inspiration and a place of their initiation to the adult world, for others a nightmarish place of violence, immorality, and distraction from a serious work. The focus is on affinities with and differences from the Southern community life, on the existentialist nausea that strikes in the big cities, on advantages and disadvantages of being invisible, on the temptations of the big city life, but first of all, on New York as a city of cultural and narrative plurality. In this context, the study analyzes Walker Percy's The Last Gentleman, William Faulkner's The Mansion, Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's as well as his NewYork essays, Peter Taylor's A Summons to Memphis and "1939," William Styron's Sophie's Choice, several of Barry Hannah's stories, and Lewis Nordan's Boy with Loaded Gun.
