Amy Hungerford

    Amy Hungerford è una studiosa di spicco della letteratura americana del XX e XXI secolo, con particolare attenzione al periodo successivo al 1945. Il suo lavoro critico approfondisce l'intricato rapporto tra genocidio, letteratura e il concetto di personificazione, esplorando come i testi affrontano traumi storici profondi. Indaga l'evoluzione della credenza postmoderna attraverso la letteratura americana e la sua connessione con la religione dagli anni '60 in poi. La ricerca di Hungerford illumina le qualità distintive del romanzo americano nella seconda metà del XX secolo e oltre.
