The novel surely engages in interrogating the individual pulse, giving it a form. In making characters reflect on what has occurred, what they have experienced, sometimes a melancholic nostalgia is associated, during other times, important realizations concomitant with a theory also get realized. At other times, contrary to held perceptions or ideologies, events and thought-processes unfold. In a world of changing trends, fashions, and technologies and post prefixed phenomena, characters think whether they are happy to be duped by the advertising market, are they actually duped into consuming, do they feel they are resigned to participate in such a consumption process, or are they happy being part of the consumer lifestyle that gets defined for them by presumably invisible forces? Does “sterility of real actions” in the face of imploding images really bother people or are they actually indifferent to it all?
One tries to chalk out the contours of imperatives a novel will try to rise upto
