THE (POST-) APOCALYPSE OF DAVE: LONDON BETWEEN THE DEATH OF THE METROPOLIS AND THE EMERGENCE OF THE POSTMETROPOLIS IN WILL SELF’S THE BOOK OF DAVE

Summary/Abstract: Relying upon Soja’s theories regarding the production of space, this paper aims at analysing the particular place London occupies at the intersections of postmodern theories of urban spaces and imaginary geographies, using Will Self’s novel The Book of Dave (2006) as an illustration. London itself becomes here a character whereas Dave, the main hero, acts as a guide inside this physical and cultural labyrinth.
