Abstract

The Pull of 'New Gravity'
Mordue, Mark | May 6, 2002 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the new American journalism, with reference to the views of Peter Beinart, editor of "The New Republic." Beinart declared it as the era of the essay--non-reported, non-narrative, political or historical analysis. A radical and disciplined art, new journalism presented a cinematic and psychological rupture. Where new journalism once challenged a homogeneity of opinion, even one of its most extreme practitioners, Hunter S. Thompson, finds a heterogeneity on Internet so repulsive he can't bear it. The language of the Net itself is affecting new books and the audiences who might be reading them.
