Summary
Summary
Identity, Politics and the Novel is a diverse and wide-ranging book that offers an innovative and unique approach to several works by four critically acclaimed novelists: Milan Kundera, Ian McEwan, Michel Houellebecq, and J. M. Coetzee. Drawing from classical and contemporary political, philosophical, and social theory--including foundational texts by Adorno, Aquinas, Camus, Hegel, and Nietzsche--Ian Fraser tracks these novelists' use of the aesthetic self and, in turn, develops the notion of a Marxist aesthetic identity through the medium of contemporary fiction.
