During this era, Hollywood movies, popular music, and other forms of mass-produced culture vied with novels for a specific kind of prestige - often figured as "importance" or "relevance" - that had mostly been attached to novels in previous decades. This trans-media competition, Brier argues, is a crucial but largely unacknowledged event in the literary and economic history of the American novel. In the face of it, the novel lost some of the symbolic specialness it formerly held. That loss, in turn, generated not just a much-discussed rhetoric of crisis but also a host of unexamined, intertwined effects on both literary form and the business of novel production. Drawing on a range of novels and on the archives of publishers, editors, agents, and authors, Novel Competition shows how fiction's declining position in a transformed "popular-prestige" economy reshaped the post-1965 American novel as art form, cultural institution, and commodity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Devaluing the novel -- Capote's place: New York, Kansas, and the novel -- Unliterary history and literary disbelief: "real Black publishing" at Random House -- The mattering crisis: literary responses to total entertainment -- Bigness and the novel: from the Middle East to the American West -- Full disclosure: novels, conglomerates, and the editor as hero -- Epilogue: Memoirs, television, and how art matters. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fiction $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American literature $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mass media and literature $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a American fiction $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 $a American literature $x Publishing $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807230 650 7 $a Fiction $x Publishing $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00923744 650 7 $a Literature and society $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Mass media and literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011353 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Brier, Evan. $t Novel competition $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, 2024 $z 9781609389406 $w (DLC) 2023026384 830 0 $a New American canon 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024137.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B9FCABEFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
