{"product_id":"after-yesterdays-crash-isbn-9780140240856","title":"After Yesterday's Crash","description":"Some of the hottest writers of the 90’s shared a subversive aesthetic sensibility, “avant-pop,” that drew on the forms, images, slogans, characters, and narrative archetypes of our multidimensional, information-dense culture—cartoons, films, music videos, advertising, and rock music—to explore and critically examine that culture.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Each of these thirty-two works delves into the deeper metaphorical implications of this pop cultural imagery to convey a turn toward overstimulation and hyper-consumption in American life, and to explore issues of personality and identity. This provocative, stylistically experimental work is truly literature for the twenty-first century.After Yesterday's CrashLarry McCaffery: \"Avant-Pop: Still Life After Yesterday's Crash\" (Editor's introduction)\u003cbr\u003eSteve Katz: \"Current Events\"\u003cbr\u003eRikki Ducornet: \"The Exorcist\"\u003cbr\u003eWilliam T.
