Exile in the Works of Jeffrey Eugenides: a Metaphor for Solitude

Author(s): Maria-Miruna Ciocoi-Pop
Subject(s): Language and Literature Studies
Published by: Trivent Publishing
Summary/Abstract: One of the most prominent contemporary authors, Jeffrey Eugenides, perfectly uncovers the essence of exile in his novels. The feeling of solitude and alienation are found in all of his major books. The author does not simply define exile; he redefines it and uses it as an instrument for contouring his main characters. Thus, Eugenides illustrated the idea of a continuous cultural recessivity which is specific to exile.
