{"product_id":"v-s-naipaul-judith-levy-9781138942042","title":"V. S. Naipaul: Displacement and Autobiography","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1995. V. S. Naipaul, a Trinidadian of Indian descent living in the West, has written in many forms. Through an analysis of five works by Naipaul written in different modes and periods of his life, this study posits a relationship between a cultural condition and a choice of genre and narrative, or more specifically between cultural displacement and the writing of autobiography. Examining an aspect of Naipaul's development as a post-colonial writer, this book is of interest in exploring the way that concepts of self determine the writing of texts. It considers 'deflected autobiographies', genre boundaries, quests for origin and expression, and Lacanian psychoanalytic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Levy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138942049\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138942042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/11\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Judith Levy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096837890303,"sku":"9781138942042","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/v-s-naipaul-judith-levy-9781138942042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
