Latent Destinies Cultural Paranoia and Contemporary U.S. Narrative

"Latent Destinies provides a careful, lucid, insightful analysis of a number of works of contemporary American authors and filmmakers, and situates their work within a complex theoretical matrix of social connections that enhance our understanding not only of the works under discussion but also of the conditions of contemporary American culture in which those works circulate." - Alan Nadel, author of Containment Culture: American Narratives, Postmodernism and the Atomic Age
