Throughout the middle decades of the twentieth century, a wide range of U.S. fiction writers took jobs---sometimes briefly, but often for several years or more---in the film, broadcasting, publishing, and advertising industries. As a result of their experiences in these industries at a time when corporate employment was on the rise and freelance work was becoming less viable, writers like Raymond Chandler, Norman Mailer, Sylvia Plath, and Ishmael Reed crafted new narrative forms to examine the problems of bureaucratized creativity. While drawing on literary modernism's techniques and strategies, they traded its aesthetics of difficulty and self-sufficiency---its serene disdain for the uninitiated---for a more broadly communicative disposition.

520 $a Throughout the middle decades of the twentieth century, a wide range of U.S. fiction writers took jobs---sometimes briefly, but often for several years or more---in the film, broadcasting, publishing, and advertising industries. As a result of their experiences in these industries at a time when corporate employment was on the rise and freelance work was becoming less viable, writers like Raymond Chandler, Norman Mailer, Sylvia Plath, and Ishmael Reed crafted new narrative forms to examine the problems of bureaucratized creativity. While drawing on literary modernism's techniques and strategies, they traded its aesthetics of difficulty and self-sufficiency---its serene disdain for the uninitiated---for a more broadly communicative disposition.
520 $a Each of these writers cut a unique path through the culture industries' institutional landscape, and my chapters follow them into studios, newsrooms, offices, and cubicles, through period debates about the freedoms and responsibilities of the press, the social and psychological effects of media exposure, and the entry of women and minorities into the white-collar workplace. Chandler's increasingly well-organized plots, Mailer's obscene and resolutely unfinished style, Plath's revision of the bildungsroman, and Reed's busy postmodern fabulations were all shaped by these movements and arguments, as were their ideas about authorship. In reconstructing them, "The Vanishing Freelancer" shows how corporate culture gave form to literary history. At the same time, it builds a model of the relations between literature and other media that emphasizes institutional entanglement more heavily than formal or technological rivalry.
