En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the picaresque novel, this study explores its evolution within postcolonial literature, emphasizing themes of poverty and precarity. It highlights the genre's unique narrative techniques, such as non-linear biographies and unreliable narratives, which reflect contemporary social issues. Unlike other postcolonial critiques, the picaresque reveals the complexities of capitalism amid neo-imperialism and neoliberalism. The book analyzes works by prominent authors like Salman Rushdie and V.S. Naipaul, while also examining recent contributions from Aravind Adiga, Mohsin Hamid, and Indra Sinha.
