| Description | Purple America (1997) is a tragicomic novel by American writer Rick Moody, intertwining the disintegration of a family with a technological accident at a nuclear power plant. Within a tightly compressed dramatic framework, Moody shifts almost seamlessly between the voices and portraits of his characters, creating a rich tapestry of linguistic riffs and situational comedy. The two plotlines converge around the themes of ageing and leakage — in human relationships as well as in technological systems — as the novel searches for ways of overcoming fractures caused by tensions that have accumulated over time.
Rick Moody is associated with the literary movement known as Avant-Pop, which reworks the legacy of postmodernism while remaining rooted in realism. Following the stylistic experiments of such literary predecessors as Thomas Bernhard and William Gaddis, Moody adopts and refines their linguistic pyrotechnics to capture the nuances of life in suburban America. |
