'It is to this collection's credit that it provides an extensive overview of 1990s U.S. fiction that is not only accessible to students, but one that will also be welcomed by those working at advanced levels in U.S. literary studies. Prosser's excellent collection provides a full and comprehensive sense of a decade that has only partially been explored, redefining the place of authors who continued to mature in the nineties, establishing the significance of writers who were emerging in this decade, and redrawing the cultural landscape of nineties America.' - Philip Leonard, Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism "As a whole, the collection demonstrates not only the breadth and depth of 1990s American fiction but also the diverse critical languages available to interrogate and interpret those texts." - D.E. Magill, University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown
