Who or what gives the text its authority? Everman offers three main sources of authority: the author, the discourse, and the reader.His first section examines the authority of the author by studying the works of contemporary American writers. An essay on docufiction focuses on the paradox of using the techniques of fiction to discover reality. The probability of writers revealing truths about themselves is exemplified by Raymond Federmans quasi-autobiographical novels.The second part discusses the authority of discourse, challenging writers with the possibility that literary form, not the author, is the major force in creating works. The final section explores the authority of the reader.Italo Calvinos If on a winters night a traveler makes the reader the main character of the novel and implicates him in its creation.

CROSSCURRENTS/MODERN CRITIQUES/THIRD SERIES
In the early 1960s, when the Crosscurrents/Modern series was developed by Harry T. Moore, the contemporary period was still a controversial one for scholarship. Even today the elusive sense of the present dares critics to rise above mere impressionism and to approach their subject with the same rigors of discipline expected in more traditional areas of study. As the first two series of Crosscurrents books demonstrated, critiquing contemporary culture often means that the writer must be historian, philosopher, sociologist, and bibliographer as well as literary critic, for in many cases these essential preliminary tasks are yet undone.
