Postwar
This chapter considers the efforts of the poet and novelist Kenneth Fearing to fashion literary forms appropriate to the postwar mood. Fearing, foremost Communist poet of the Great Depression, forged a new radical sensibility in the following decade with his noir thrillers such as The Big Clock (1946), a psychosexual roman noir stressing the sinister effect of market segmentation in the publishing industry.
