Publisher's Synopsis
For over 50 years, Leslie Fielder played a pivotal role in the development of American literary culture. Despite his often unacknowledged influence, many people still craw on his concepts. The essays collected in The Devil Gets His Due reacquaint readers with the depth and breadth of Fielder's achievements. Tackling subjects ranging from Dante, Ezra Pound, Rambo and Jerry Lewis, Fielder's writings showcase his popular egalitarian canon.
