Synopsis
Suburban Ambush is a cultural history of a downtown scene just beginning to attract mainsteam attention. From a neighborhood where pushers and poststructuralists meet on the street (sometimes violently), where the anger of sixties' activism never cooled, Suburban Ambush is an indispensable introduction to the women and men writing about what the Village Voice has called "the lower east side of sombody's gut." Siegle offers close reading of works by Acker, Dejong, Rose, Tillman, Ron Kolm, Patrick McGrath, Gary Indiana, and many others., Drawing its title from a piece by Ron Kolm which has appeared in several versions and nearly twenty magazines around the world, Suburban Ambush tells the story of the reinvention of American fiction., 'Suburban Ambush' tells the story of the reinvention of American fiction. It draws its title from a piece by Ron Kolm which has appeared in several versions and nearly twenty magazines around the world: the conceit of a military strike on the heart of Suburbia has considerable resonance.
