Mimetic Disillusion : Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams, and U.S. Dramatic Realism.
This work examines the history of US drama and how at mid-century, it turned in the direction of a poststructuralist mimicry. It explores the complexities of mimetic and realistic readings and develops connections to the writings of Derrida, De Man, Foucault, Brecht and Benjamin.
