"Nearly every page of this book taught me something new. In a series of nuanced readings, Hicks demonstrates the unexpected resonances of human relations management theory, and its progeny in the self-actualization and corporate culture movements, for a range of post-World War II books and films. Hicks joins Jameson, Harvey, and Haraway as an indispensable analyst of the relationship between postmodernism and contemporary capitalism."--Andrew Hoberek, Associate Professor of English, University of Missouri-Columbia and the author ofThe Twilight Of The Middle Class "Hicks has produced an excellent literature-based scrutiny of the new managerial narrative and the consequent loss of the social imagination of work. Hers is an astute understanding of the chimera of workplace autonomy and its literary expression in a post industrial and post union world."--Laura Hapke, author ofLabor's Text"Hicks has written an indispensable book…Equally at home in management theory and gender studies, she shows that literature and film can offer powerful insight into recent management strategies that seek to control the workplace by controlling the affective lives of workers."--James F. Knapp, author ofLiterary Modernism and the Transformation of Work"What is perhaps most innovative and suggestive about Hicks'The Culture of Soft Worklies in its argument for the prevalence of representations ofworkin fiction and film of the latter decades of the twentieth century but in a formother thantraditional working-class literature."--Magali Cornier Michael, Professor and Chair, Department of English, Duquesne University and author ofNew Visions of Community in Contemporary American Fiction, "Nearly every page of this book taught me something new.

"What is perhaps most innovative and suggestive about Hicks'The Culture of Soft Worklies in its argument for the prevalence of representations ofworkin fiction and film of the latter decades of the 20th century but in a formother thantraditional working-class literature. Indeed, Hicks' critical study reveals the ways in which representations ofsoft workand its consequences on human lives and psyches pervade American novels and films, exploring 'the interplay of all classes of workers as they perform tasks softened by management discourses that import feminine conventions into the mechanics of work itself.'"--Magali Cornier Michael, Professor and Chair, Department of English, Duquesne University and author ofNew Visions of Community in Contemporary American Fiction: Tan, Kingsolver, Castillo, Morrison
