Christopher Ogunyemi conceptualizes the theory of narratology in
the understanding of Irish fiction, Nigerian fiction and African
American fiction. Chapter one attempts the science of fiction to
explain the plight of the Irish ex-service men. McGahern in Amongst
Women creates a former soldier Moran who fights gallantly in the
war with his friend McQuaid. The story actually started after the
war. Although the war had ended, for Moran the male protagonist,
the war had not ended. He had to battle poverty and nothingness
which had mostly preoccupied the experiences of ex -servicemen
after the war. Moran was upright; he went into farming to save the
family and his efforts were able to see the family through the
huddles of hunger. Chapter two x-rays Wisdom and Age in Chinua
Achebe's Things Fall Apart. The combination of Autobiographical and
methodological approaches make the work wisdom coded. Chapter
three, however, uses narratology to clarify the theme of violence
in African American literature with a comparative analysis of James
Baldwin's Fire Next Time and Richard Wright's The Man Who Killed a
Shadow. The role of irony, metaphor, and other literary elements
were highly emphasized.
