Arguing that the crisis of bodily representation can be traced in the move from modernist entombment to postmodernist exhumation, this title considers how works by writers from F Scott Fitzgerald, Willa Cather, and Richard Wright to Jody Shields, Octavia Butler, and Jeffrey Eugenides reflect changing attitudes about dying, death, and mourning.
