Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (page 48 - 49). This thesis aims to shed light on the much discussed feature of modernism and postmodernism. Through a close reading of Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five and Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 I focus on how these contemporary fiction shows today’s world situation. I explore how science, technologies, identity crisis, hybridism and paranoid society are shaped in contemporary fiction with special reference to characters who grow up within the novel. Within these novel it also gives idea how future world literature will be. Through different postmodern features the thesis main focus will be on the characters. All authors works with present world subject. These subjects and theory are presented in this thesis. keya Basak M.A. in English 2014-09-09T07:00:15Z 2014-09-09T07:00:15Z 2014 2014-08 Thesis ID 12163006 http://hdl.handle.net/10361/3563 en BRAC University thesis are protected by copyright.
