Analyzing novels such as The Sheltering Sky , Fahrenheit 451 , and Peyton Place , Evan Brier reveals how novelists and the book trade positioned their works as antidotes to mid-twentieth-century mass culture, even as new partnerships between publishers and mass-culture institutions contributed to the success of these writings.


Evan Brier teaches English at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.
