The Midwest holds two conflicting positions in the American cultural imagination, both of which rob the region of its distinctiveness. Andy Oler challenges both views by pairing fiction and poetry with cultural and material texts that illustrate the processes by which regional modernism both opposes and absorbs prevailing models of manhood.
