After Paradise: Essays on the Fate of American Writing lays bare the richness of classic American texts and their fraught relationship with what Jon Thompson sees as a culture of violence and war. Focusing on William Bradfords Of Plymouth Plantation, Herman Melvilles Bartleby the Scrivener, Walt Whitmans Specimen Days, Emily Dickinsons Letters and Michael Herrs Dispatches, After Paradise offers a series of moving, interconnected reflections upon what Thompson calls the fate of American writing. Part cultural reflection, part lyrical criticism, part idiosyncratic literary history, After Paradise attempts to restore a sense of the original strangeness of American literature and culture by pushing the boundaries of the essay form.
