Beschreibungen/Notizen
According to Christina Bieber Lake in Beyond the Story: American Literary Fiction and the Limits of Materialism, three camps present possible answers to this question. [...]metaphysical naturalists, such as Richard Kearney, argue that humans tell stories in order to make meaning of a life that is otherwise meaningless. According to Lake, Davis invites readers to see that stories welcome us to recognize ourselves within them. According to Lake, the ghost of Morrison’s novel is a grotesque “ape of God” (89) who discloses the truth of evil.
