This volume suggests that reading and writing about literature are
ways to gain an ethical understanding of how we live in the world.
Postmodern narrative is an important way to reveal and discuss who
are society's victims, inviting the reader to become one with them.
A close reading of fiction by Toni Morrison, Patrick Suskind, D.M.
Thomas, Ian McEwan and J.M. Coetzee reveals a violence imposed on
gender, race and the body-politic. Such violence is not new to the
postmodern world, but reflects Western culture's religious
traditions, as this book demonstrates through a reading of stories
from the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament.
