Sherwood Anderson: A Writer in America, Volume 2 - Hardcover
by Walter B. Rideout (Author)
A North African port city that was home to as many Europeans as Moroccans, postwar Tangier was truly an international zone, a place where the familiar boundaries of language, culture, nationality, and sexuality blurred, and anything seemed possible. In the 1950s and 1960s three leading American writers settled in Tangier, where they were able to find critical new ways of living and writing on the margins of society. A subtle literary portrait of Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs, and Alfred Chester, Colonial Affairs is also a complex and perceptive account of the ways colonialism and sexuality structure each other, particularly as reflected in the literature written in postwar Tangier.
Walter B. Rideout is professor emeritus of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, coeditor of Letters of Sherwood Anderson, and author of The Radical Novel in the United States, 1900-1954, for which he received the Robert F. Ferguson Award of the Friends of Literature.
