Karl jumps in with a marvelous passage from Truongs Book of Salt, in which Binh, Gertrude Steins and Alice B. Tokass Vietnamese cook, describes with confidence the material culture in which they all lived, ranging from cigars to naughty postcards to the type of devotion the Mesdames had for each other and the types of kitchens in which Binh toiled. This introduces the main points of Karls dissertation-turned-book, that the rise of consumer capitalism produced uneven economic, political and racial conditions upon which Western modernist production and our perceptions of modernism rest. Karl continues by examining the desires of Rhyss marketplace culture, of the consumerism and imperialism enmeshed in Woolfs The Voyage Out and Mrs. Dalloway, of the experiments of Stain and Sylvia Beach into was is actually and enterprising modernism, and the web of consumerism and race woven in Nella Larsens Quicksand. This is both elegant and exciting. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ().
