Abstract:
The present book deals with the problem of chaos, as dealt with by Samuel
Beckett in his Trilogy, by V. S. Naipaul in In a Free State and Half a Life
and by Salman Rushdie in his Midnight’s Children. It also discusses
manipulation and irrationality in Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet,
William Golding’s Lord of the Flies and Peter Ackroyd’s Hawksmoor.
The first chapter starts with Beckett’s original approach to ambiguity
detailing the relative nature of identity, the uncertain story line and the
open-ended narrative. Then, it focuses on Naipaul’s interest in immigration,
adaptation and identity transformation. The last subchapter is based on the
concept of post-humanism, as part of the chaotic effect of the narrative.
The second chapter begins with Durrell’s subversive perspective and
fragmentary discourse viewed in terms of the features of the Vorticist art
trend. It continues with an emphasis on the topic of conflict, as developed by
Golding, the fluctuation between the presence of the transcendent, its absence
and the immanent (Hassan, 2016). The last subchapter concentrates on Ackroyd’s
perspective upon the city of London, its change with the passing of time and
its heterogeneity analysed according to his London Under (2012).
