About
On the basis of archival research, author interviews and literary analysis, "Underground or Six Feet Under" analyzes the complex interplay between the avant-garde, postmodernism and the urban condition as represented by the Unbearables, a loose collective of anarchist writers in Downtown New York. This includes an attempt to answer three questions: how do the Unbearables position themselves in the contemporary literary field and towards the historical avant-garde? What, if anything other than an underground shibboleth, has the term ‘Unbearable’ come to signify in Downtown New York? And how does an analysis of Unbearable writing add to and complicate existing narratives on avant-garde practices in a postindustrial urban context?
