- Title
Anatomy of Surfaces: "Mulligan Stew" and the Political Fantasies of America's Literary Factions.
- Authors
Scott, Ramsey
- Abstract
This article discusses the political fantasies of U.S. literary factions in novelist Gilbert Sorrentino's work entitled "Mulligan Stew." It says that anyone interested in the history of U.S. avant-garde writing should read "Mulligan Stew" because it ridicules the immortal myth of the U.S. avant-garde as politically important. According to the author, the continuous demand of the U.S. for collective denial and repression lies underneath the exercise in form known as "Mulligan Stew."
