THE THEME OF POLITICS IN THE NOVEL “ANDREW’S BRAIN” BY E. L. DOCTOROW
Journal Title: Science Review - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The article deals with the study of political theme in the novel ‘Andrew’s brain’ by E. L. Doctorow as the fiction of postmordernism. Such principles of its poetics as postmodern irony, anachrony, fragmentation and mosaic structure were revealed. The author attempts to determine the main characteristics of the writer’s style as representation of postmodernism. The novel includes well-known politicos in cameo roles. Andrew’s story is pretty close to a monologue, really investigates big concept — political evil — and spreads it across a background noise composed of cognitive science and 9/11. The excesses of the George W. Bush administration are meant to echo, in some sense, Andrew's own indifference and bad luck.
