Fraser's diverse and wide-ranging book offers an examination of the
work of four critically acclaimed novelists, Milan Kundera (The
Unbearable Lightness of Being and Identity), Ian McEwan (Atonement
and Saturday), Michel Houellebecq (Atomised and Platform) and J.M.
Coetzee (Disgrace and Diary of a Bad Year), to aesthetically
explore our understanding of identity. The analysis utilises
frameworks from classical and contemporary political, philosophical
and social theory to explore the notion of the aesthetic self
within these texts. Fraser explores these ideas from within the
Marxist aesthetic tradition, using theorists such as Friedrich
Nietzsche, G. W. F. Hegel, E.P. Thompson, Julia Kristeva, Henri
Lefebvre, Albert Camus, Thomas Aquinas and Theodor Adorno. Fraser
therefore offers an innovative and unique approach that breaks new
ground by developing a Marxist aesthetic account of identity
through the medium of contemporary fiction.
