The Labour of Laziness in Twentieth-Century American Literature - Modern American Literature and the New Twentieth Century
Ladyga, Zuzanna (Associate Professor, American Literature Department, Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw)
This book argues that major twentieth-century American writers such as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, John Barth, Donald Barthelme and David Foster Wallace provocatively challenge the ethos of productivity by filtering their ethical interventions through culturally stigmatised imagery of laziness.
