Suburban Ambush is a cultural history of a downtown scene just beginning to attract mainsteam attention. From a neighborhood where pushers and poststructuralists meet on the street (sometimes violently), where the anger of sixties' activism never cooled, Suburban Ambush is an indispensable introduction to the women and men writing about what the Village Voice has called "the lower east side of sombody's gut." Siegle offers close reading of works by Acker, Dejong, Rose, Tillman, Ron Kolm, Patrick McGrath, Gary Indiana, and many others.

Industry Reviews

""Siegle is at once a patient literary historian and a trail blazing theorist of the type who is needed every twenty or so years; as such Suburban Ambush should be the study that will set the terms of debate in the decade now underway.""
