B.S. Johnson A Critical Reading

"The chapters analyse different themes and phases of Johnson's writing from the early experimental forms, to his autobiographical phase and finally the formally intricate works written in the years before his dramatic and tragic suicide. This literary recovery of Johnson offers new and original interpretations in the first full-length study of the author and his work. Given the growing interest in Johnson, and the reissue of his major works, the present study provides an essential critical context for students, researchers and academics interested in the fields of twentieth-century literature, the novel, cultural studies and literary theory."--BOOK JACKET.
