Desperate Faith: A Study of Bellow, Salinger, Mailer, Baldwin, and UpdikeUniversity of North Carolina Press, 1967 - 200 pages This book traces the developing view of the human conditions through the major works of these five writers. The method is inductive, and the works are seen as a record of human experience not as an illustration of philosophical theory. A final chapter places them in the larger perspective of traditional American fiction. Originally published in 1967.
