A critical examination of novels by Milan Kundera, Ian McEwan, Michel Houellebecq and J. M. Coetzee to explore aesthetically our understanding of different forms of identity, through the lens of classical and contemporary political, philosophical and social theory from within the Marxist aesthetic tradition.
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.
