Reviews
Katz [has] a firm grasp of the current state of play in the academic study of modernism and of transatlantic cultural relations in North America. Both of these are currently expanding sub-fields where adventurous new work is being done, and where familiar curricula and syllabi are undergoing revision. Katz’s project will be right at home (to steal one of his ironic tropes) in this context. I found the material enormously impressive, and thoroughly engrossing. -- Brian McHale, Humanities Distinguished Professor in English, Ohio State University Daniel Katz’s American Modernism’s Expatriate Scene breaks new methodological and interpretative ground in the study of American modernism. Through detailed, sophisticated readings of key writers such as Henry James, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Wyndham Lewis, Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, and James Schulyer, Katz reconceives American modernism as a tense, productive result of the many-sided 'interference' of languages and cultures in an international space. His book makes an important contribution to the study of American modernism and to recent modernist studies more generally. -- Tyrus Miller, Professor of Literature, University of California at Santa Cruz
