Recenzii
"Durand and Mandel (both, Univ of Rhode Island) collect critical essays that analyze a particular kind of contemporary novel, "novels that do not merely reflect on violence [but] seek it out, engage it, and in a variety of imaginative ways, perform it." These essays provide a better understanding of the literary positioning and psychological framework of the contemporary extreme novel, both inside and outside the US." Summing up: Recommended- CHOICE February 2007
