Abstract :American literature in the mid-twentieth century undertook a thorough critique of some of the guiding narratives of the nation’s popular mythology and political ideology. The fiction of the 1960s was especially intent on reevaluating such official discourses by de-centering narratives to include previously suppressed viewpoints.
