World Without Heroes: The Brooklyn Novels of Daniel Fuchs

by Marcelline Krafchick

Until now the three novels written by Daniel Fuchs in the 1930s have received critical attention primarily as Jewish or Depression-period writing. Pointing up the limitations of this perspective, this study demonstrates Fuch's distinctive merging of epistemological and artistic skepticism, and investigates the dynamics of his offering social criticism while he subverts the univocality of any position.
