Beschreibung:
Scholar, critic and novelist Randy Boyagoda is a professor of American Literature at Ryerson University in Toronto. He is the author of Governor of the Northern Province, a novel, and contributes literary and cultural criticism to a series of North American publications, including Harper's and The Walrus.
Read together, novels from a contemporary world writer (Salman Rushdie) and two modern American authors (Faulkner and Ellision) depict a century-long transformation of how American identity and experience have been conceived and imagined; these changes are revealed in the fiction of encounters between immigrants and natives.
