Clements considers the complexities, ambiguities, and contradictions represented by the author and his work, exploring Bukowski's visceral writing of the cultural ordinary and everyday self-narrative. The study considers Bukowski's apolitical, gendered, and working-class stance to understand how the writer represents reality and is represented with regards to counter-cultural literature. In addition, Clements provides a broader socio-cultural focus that evaluates counterculture in relation to the American beat movement and mythology, highlighting the male cool anti-hero. The cultural practices and discourses utilized to situate Bukowski include the individual and society, outsiderdom, cult celebrity, fan embodiment, and disneyfication, providing a greater understanding of the beat generation and counterculture literature"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-205) and index. 600 10 $a Bukowski, Charles $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Outsiders in literature. 650 0 $a Beat generation. 830 0 $a Routledge studies in twentieth-century literature ; $v 31. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826071938.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2ADC2726B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
