Illuminating The Need For Fiction To Love Within A Postmodern Reality, Alexandria Lightsey
Illuminating The Need For Fiction To Love Within A Postmodern Reality, Alexandria Lightsey
English
Jonathan Safran Foer in his novel Everything is Illuminated (2002), engages and overturns traditional notions of love. In his work, love, as an exalted feeling, does not exist outside of animalistic desire. Instead, as Foer proposes through the numerous and complex relationships of his characters, love exists in an illusion as the individual defines and creates it. To love is to willfully choose to believe in this idealism.
