Using Jrgen Habermas's theory of communicative action to read the work of Frank O'Hara, James Baldwin, Grace Paley, and Andy Warhol, In Defense of Dialogue assembles postwar writers who have never been studied alongside one another, showing how they overcame the pervading skepticism of their contemporaries to imagine sincere and rational speakers who seek to cultivate intersubjective discourse UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003005858 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
