Bøker av Florence Dore

"What is the relation between rock and literature? Compiled by 'rock novel' lit professor and indie musician Florence Dore, The Ink in the Grooves is a collection of essays and interviews about rock and literature from some of the most renowned novelists and musicians of our day-a backstage pass to musings on this topic from Richard Thompson, Colson Whitehead, Steve Earle, Michael Chabon, Rhiannon Giddens, Lucinda Williams, and others." --

Novel Sounds shows how Southern writers turned to rock music and its technologies-tape, radio, vinyl-to develop the "rock novel." Florence Dore considers the work of writers like William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and William Styron alongside Bessie Smith, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan to uncover deep historical links between rock and literature.

The Novel and the Obscene challenges our vision of early twentieth-century America as sexually progressive by identifying a resonant silence at the heart of the modernist American novel-a narrative mode that renders censorship symbolic at the very moment of its legal demise.
