"The Trash... "The Trash Phenomenon" looks at how writers of the late twentieth century not only have integrated the events, artifacts, and theories of popular c... |

Reminiscence and Re-creation in Contemporary American Fiction
ISBN: 9780521363839 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Focusing on Norman...
