William S. Burroughs in Mexico

by Jorge García-Robles ...

Translated by Daniel C. Schechter ...

Still uncertain about being a writer, he had left behind a series of failed business ventures—including a scheme to grow marijuana in Texas and sell it in New York—and an already long history ...

Critical Regionalism

Connecting Politics and Culture in the American Landscape

by Douglas Reichert Powell ...

The idea of "region" in America has often served to isolate places from each other, observes Douglas Reichert Powell. Whether in the nostalgic celebration of folk cultures or the urbane distaste for "hicks," certain regions of the country are identified as static, insular, and culturally disconnected from everywhere else. In Critical Regionalism, Reichert Powell explores this trend and offers ... Read more

Susan McCabe argues that Bishop counters modernist claims for an autonomous art ... Read more
