Grounded in theoretical studies of postmodern and narrative ethics,
this book proposes the need for a re-examination of E. L.
Doctorow's work from an ethical perspective. Through in-depth
analyses of previously neglected intertexts, it questions the
classification of his fiction as an expression of postmodern
skepticism. Seven of Doctorow's most widely acclaimed novels are
dealt with in chronological order, tracing his finely tuned
characterizations of the human quest for narrative truth. Growing
out of the early protagonists' vague sense of moral consciousness
is their recognition of an obligation to interpret signs from and
for the Other. Through logical deliberation and close reading, the
study gradually identifies the narrative voice of the post-modern
gnostic.
