Characters in the New Millennium Novel and Post-Postmodernism

This book presents the study of the characters in McCarthy and Diaz s novels in order to see how far do the notions of postmodernism account for the human condition in the contemporary world and also it also explores, to what extent and in what terms have we moved forward from the postmodern ideas. The study thus seeks to determine if characters in the novels written after the millennium have adopted a postmodern view of the world or they are moving towards adopting a new perspective i.e. post-postmodernism.
