Nomadic Modernisms and Diasporic Journeys of Djuna Barnes and Jane Bowles - "Two Very Serious Ladies"

This book argues that Djuna Barnes and Jane Bowles counter the critical trend associating American modernity primarily with urban spaces, and instead locate the nomadic thrust of their times in the (post)colonial history of the American frontier.
