Book Synopsis The Labour of Laziness in Twentieth-century American Literature by : Zuzanna Ladyga
Book excerpt: This text argues that major twentieth-century American writers such as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and David Foster Wallace provocatively challenge the ethos of productivity by filtering their ethical interventions through culturally stigmatised imagery of laziness.
