The word 'Alienation' has become the catch-word of today. It is
puzzling and misleading term, nevertheless, it is very often used
in almost every discipline-theology, psychology, sociology,
philosophy and of course, in literature too. As this term is quite
commonly used in a wide range of fields, naturally its meaning gets
distorted and causes confusion in the mind of the reader. Such a
universal usage of this term has made its meaning rather elastic
and kept it open to many interpretations. This term was used to
denote ideas in many American novels of the twentieth century and
designate a recurrent way of representing life in literature. This
chapter defines alienation and traces its tradition in English and
American English fiction. Man's alienation from the society can be
said to be the central theme of contemporary American fiction.
Serious writers of the West are preoccupied with this theme. Saul
Bellow and Jerome Salinger have dealt with the problems of
alienation and affliction in their works. But the solutions to
these problems offered by these two writers are slightly different.
