Table of ContentsReviews"Dr. Raj Chandarlapaty's ""Psychedelic Modernism: Literature and Film"" is one of the few books that seriously engages with the controversial notion that drug use can induce significant application to the creation of art that can, in turn, challenge society's values. In his extremely sophisticated analyses, Chandarlapaty chooses to ponder the claims of the proselytizers of drug use and question the easy dismissal of their claims while simultaneously avoiding the romanticizing of drug use to bring about social change. He examines literature and documentary films that focus on drug use with the desire to better understand the interplay of these artistic mediums within societal discourse. Kurt Hemmer Harper College" Author InformationDr. Raj Chandarlapaty studied at the University of South Florida and taught literature, writing, and philosophy courses in the United States and Afghanistan for 17 years. In Kabul, Afghanistan, he was awarded the Most Promising Teacher award in his first year. Dr. Chandarlapaty has since authored four books, which include 'Psychedelic Modernism: Literature and Film, ' 'Seeing The Beat Generation, ' 'Re-Creating Paul Bowles, the Other, and the Imagination, ' and 'The Beat Generation and Counterculture.' He is most interested in American and British authors who write in the fault lines between modernism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism. Dr. Chandarlapaty has published ten journal articles, including 'ARIEL, ' 'The Mailer Review, ' 'Storytelling, Self, and Society, ' and 'The Journal of Urban Education.' With articles on Norman Mailer, Mohammed Mrabet, James Baldwin, and Allen Ginsberg, Chandarlapaty is an accomplished essayist who studies books and articles from the perspective of critical theory and unconscious literary formation. Not borne of any one period, Chandarlapaty chooses to call himself a modernist, and refers to humankind's incomplete formation of ideas and culture.
