Book Synopsis Postmodern Texts and Emotional Audiences by : Kimberly Chabot Davis
Book excerpt: Analyzes contemporary texts that bond together two seemingly antithetical sensibilities: the sentimental and the postmodern. This book presents case studies of audience responses to "The Piano", "Kiss of the Spider Woman", and "Northern Exposure". It argues that sentimental postmodernism deepened leftist political engagement.
