This paper examines the relationship between two cultures, two world views and two civilizations, and how they feel towards one another through discussing the Pakstani writer, Mohsin Hamid's Reluctunt Fundamentalist which was nominated in 2007. This novel goes into the heart of what may be the most important issue of the time, the clash of civilizations. Hamid's use of dramatic monologue is a unique achievement, and it makes the novel one of the most prolific and successful novels written after sep 11. I will examine through this technique the transformation of a Muslim Pakistani man from an initial infatuation, identification with America to a gradual estrangement and disenchantment with it.. The Reluctant Fundamentalist demonstrates Hamid's own aggressive view of the West in a smart cover of fiction.. It's aim is to present the reader with a well-oriented explanation and details of an Eastern immigrant in the West with all the difficulties he goes through. It poses many questions some of which are not answered. They are left for the readers to interpret them according to the way he/she reads the novel. Mohsin Hamid adopts the device of a dramatic monologue to describe the conflicting views of the East and West. Dramatic monologue is a person talking to another person whose speech is not recorded but inferred from the speech of the first narrator. The speaker is talking and talking and the listener only listens. In this novel the listener is as important and central as the speaker. We never hear his voice but we know he speaks. We infer his reactions from the speech of the speaker. |
