Hi Bananafish!
In the Briefly Noted section in the May 13 New Yorker, there's a review of a new book Leopards in the Temple by Morris Dickstein. "In this sharply sketched history of American fiction in the postwar years..." And the reviewer then mentions Ellison, Baldwin, Bellow, Roth, Mailer, Updike, Yates, and "Kerouac and Salinger reinvigorated first-person narrative..." So at least Salinger made it in there, if not on my syllabus. And speaking of absences, he isn't in the new Salon.com Guide to Contemporary Fiction (which included even dead writers like Richard Brautigan).
Bye!
