The Bang and the Whimper - Apocalypse and Entropy in American Literature

?As suggested in the subtitle of his text, Lewicki examines how the tension between the hope of rebirth and the fear of annihilation, extant in the American consciousness characterizes American literature. ... Lewicki has written another significant contribution to American studies. It is a provocative work, with an excellent bibliography, readable print, and attractive binding. The work should be acquired by libraries for upper-division undergraduates and graduate students of American literature.?-Choice
