  Abstract: Some of the most influential scholarship on nineteenth-century American temperance fiction has focused on the ambivalent complicity of temperance plots with the repressive norms of a burgeoning middle-class social order. In other words, if it's true that the middle class "forged itself" through the "collective repression of alcohol," then we might view the fictional drunkard's relentless thirst as a potentially redemptive expression of desire for the repressed or as-yet-unrealized intimacies and associations that middle-class normalcy only ever imperfectly foreclosed.1 Michael Warner, for example, reads Whitman's Franklin Evans (1842) as a tentative map for a gay urban subculture that could not "be openly avowed" ...

  Abstract: In its sixtieth anniversary year, the Guggenheim Museum ran a retrospective on Hilma af Klint (1842–1944) that became the most-attended exhibition in its history. Art historians called her style groundbreaking, "resonant with the long-celebrated styles of more famous male artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian,"1 a "body of work that invites a reevaluation of modernism and its development."2 Though Sarah Orne Jewett is more established than af Klint, her fiction tests similar boundaries. Her best-known work, The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), has found a comfortable niche in the American literary canon, admired for its naturalistic acuity and its nuanced revelation of late-nineteenth-century class ...

  Abstract: Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust is a veritable catalog of the health quackery and messianic lifestyle fads of 1930s Los Angeles. Nonetheless, the novel reminds us, those enlisted in the "Search for Health" had actually "come to California to die."1 Literally and figuratively aging, these Californians become ideal aesthetic models for the work of the novel's artist/protagonist, Tod Hackett. Yet the body in decline is a body Tod cannot paint. Struggling to bring his work to completion, Tod is unable to claim his authority as a painter because of his attraction to these bodies. As it explores Tod's modern attempt to produce and paint exhaustion, the 1939 novel—with its aesthetic vision centered on artistic ... Read More

  Abstract: In Delirious New York, Rem Koolhaas's beloved architectural history of turn-of-thecentury Manhattan, the architect-theorist argues that fantasy and eroticism reside at the heart of the twentieth-century American metropolis. For Koolhaas, the emerging technologies and architectures of modernity enabled new forms of social life that would define our relationship to cities throughout the twentieth century. Part of the appeal of Koolhaas's book is its playful framing of modernist traditions of architecture and urban planning as grounded in the erotic imagination. Cities, Koolhaas argues, are intrinsically sites of imaginative possibility, and no city embodies this quality more completely than the modern American ... Read More

  Abstract: She is known as the Dust Lady. Marcy Borders walked out of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, coated from head to toe in the cinders of catastrophe, and was immortalized in Stan Honda's haunting photograph. Borders's shocked face reflects the horror and tragedy of the day, and the photo is a dystopian signifier of how 9/11 "usher[ed] in an era of new seriousness."1
  Authors have always thematized the apocalyptic nature of the attacks. Don DeLillo, for instance, uses ash and dust as charnel confetti to welcome this new epoch in his 2007 novel Falling Man: "It was not a street anymore but a world, a time and space of falling ash and near night."2 The raining powder transforms the micro street into the macro ...
