A significant and lively contribution to the growing field of nuclear criticism, Letter Bomb explores the tensions that exist among such writers as Derrida, Lacan, Girard, Blanchot, and Bloch. He plays these writers against one another and against works of literature--as well as, occasionally, film or music--that deal explicitly with the nuclear theme.
"I read Letter Bomb with pleasure. It is a highly personal study, written more like an essay or a meditation than a traditional academic book. Peter Schwenger raises important issues and offers excellent readings of noncanonical contemporary novels. He also tackles some of the most formidable French critics. Letter Bomb isa very special work."--Ora Avni, Emory University.

Our History: Coas Books was founded in 1983 by archaeologist Pat Beckett. It started out as an archaeological publishing company specializing in anthropology books. As Pat's vast collection of books continued to grow, he purchased a local paperback exchange, and with that Coas Books was born. The name Coas has its roots in archaeology, coming from the Nahuatl term “coa” — meaning digging stick —, and the acronym for "Center of Anthropological Studies". Today, Coas Books is run and operated by Mike and Veronica Beckett as they continue to proudly serve the community in the heart of Las Cruces.…
