“Neoliberal Style: Alex Haley, Hunter S. Thompson, and Countercultures”

In this talk, Daniel Worden will present work from his current book project, Cool Realism: The New Journalism and American Literary Culture. His talk will chart how the highly successful work of two New Journalists—Alex Haley and Hunter S. Thompson—articulates a view of the social world that can now, retrospectively, be described as neoliberalism.

Lyon Book Award in Western American Literary and Cultural Studies and was recently reissued in paperback.
