Om denne bog
This work analyzes the fiction of four contemporary multicultural writers who render a ''floating world'' in which cultures converge or collide in unexpected, exciting, and dangerous ways. The novels and short stories of Kazuo Ishiguro, Bessie Head, Bharati Mukherjee, and Salman Rushdie explore a literal and metaphorical floating world (adapted from the Japanese concept of ''ukiyo''-a still-point between briefly-held earthly pleasures and spiritual immutability) where the characters, like their authors, are poised between conflicting worlds, cultures, and traditions. The manner in which these four authors articulate such a ''floating'' experience, Burton argues, enriches our understanding and appreciation of the increasingly interconnected world around us.
