This study of the work of young American writers focuses on a group who appear to value superficiality over complexity, youth over experience,and "pulp" culture over the highbrow. Previously dismissed as nihilist Generation X no-hopers, Annesley attempts to position their work as an analysis of late 20th-century culture. Amongst the contemporary authors featured are Lynne Tillman, Dennis Cooper, Bret Easton Ellis, Douglas Coupland and Poppy Z. Brite.
