Desperate Faith

A Study of Bellow, Salinger, Mailer, Baldwin, and Updike

About this book

This book traces the developing view of the human conditions through the major works of these five writers. The method is inductive, and the works are seen as a record of human experience not as an illustration of philosophical theory. A final chapter places them in the larger perspective of traditional American fiction.

Originally published in 1967.
