In Amis’s famous novel, London Fields, the witty language is used and highlighted in the book repatedly. With the use of wit and pan (word play) Amis creates one of the most intelligent written novel ‘London Fields’. These uses of high elevated language and word plays also gives us the hints of postmodern fiction. As the novel is considered one of the best novel representing postmodernism, one can appreciate it due to the style that the novel is written, by means of wit and language. To give examples from the book;
-It was fixed. It was written. The murderer was not the murderer. But the murderee had always been a murderee.
The quote from Samson Young foreshadows that the real murderer is not the one we think, it will change. However the murderee ‘Nicola’ will always be the victim, not be affected by the inconstant murderer.
- I know what his poetry will be about. What poetry is always about. The cruelty of the poet’s mistress.
In this quote we can also sense the metaphor that is made to Nicola. Here Samson , as a writer, claims that the poets are writing poetry due to the relationship between their mistresses. It is known that Young also writes a novel about Nicola, creating the same plot with the poets he criticizes.
-I close my eyes, trying to see a way- how do writers dare do what they do ? – and there is just chaos. It seems to me that writing brings trouble with it, moral trouble, unexamined trouble. Even to the best.
-When God got mad he was a jealous God. He had other planets, thanks, and in better parts of the universe. He promised plague, famine mile-high tides, sound-speed winds and terror, ubiquitous and incessant terror, with blood flowing bridle deep. He threatened to make her old and keep her that way forever… Cross that firebreak and then cross that
In the Depth of PostmodernismFelsefe
I've never read a book that was both so complex and so organized at the same time as this one. Metafiction, fragmented structure, questioning metanarratives, posthumanism, postcolonialism, and all the "post-" are combined in this book. The book's self-reflective nature and its direct conversation with the reader have made it one of my favorite books written from a second-person perspective. It has a style that leads the reader into paradoxes, confuses them, and definitely broadens their horizons. Especially the stories that follow each episode are like a narrative version of the main plot of that episode. For example, in the first chapter, we, as readers, embark on a journey. A reading journey. The title of the next chapter is "If on a winter's night a traveler". So it's about someone who's embarked on a journey, a traveler. But this episode is cut short, and our character's journey is interrupted. Just like we, the readers, are constantly interrupted by the narrator throughout this book. There's a mystery in this chapter. We don't know what that mystery is. We also encounter a mystery while reading this book; which book are we reading? Why is the book incomplete? Where is the rest? And in the next chapter, we, the readers, are on the hunt for the continuation of the previous story. We go to the bookstore and find another story that could be a sequel. But this story we found has been replaced by the main story. Just like the main plot of the story we are about to read. So throughout the book, we, the readers and narrators, speak first, taking on an active role. At the end of each chapter, we read a different story. And these stories are like continuations of the previous chapter's narrative.
This rather confusing book achieves its purpose: it bores the reader. But

dead poets society... my cause of death
i'm shredded into pieces... this always breaks my heart so bad. when i keep reading it throughout the book, with every pages, i feel my heart aches. and if i could choose to kill three people on earth, neil's father would certainly be one of them.
i forgot how many times did i even read this book. i love it so much. but i hate it at the same time because it reflects my life so well. neil's pain, i can feel it. i know acting is his everything, it's the only thing he is so passionate about. i know his father is a bastard and should die. even talking about this causes me to feel pain in every bone i have. i will forever be sorry for you neil, and you guys should wish me luck for not ending up like neil. but i've passed those times, i once thought that i will really end up like him. in the end, it was appeared that i'm not brave enough like him. rest in peace, neil. and i'm glad that his parents will live with the pain of their son's death for the rest of their lives.
Joey ve Aoife, ansızın aklıma gelip boşluğa dalmamı sağlayacak o unutulmaz çiftlerden biri oldular.
Shannon’ın hikâyesini okurken Joey’i zaten çok sevmiştim. Babaları Teddy, sevgi ve merhamet nedir bilmeyen, işsiz, alkolik bir zalim. Sürekli gerilime sebep olup ailesine fiziksel ve duygusal şiddet uyguluyor. Anneleri Marie ise daha 14 yaşındayken hamile kalmış, hayatı boyunca şiddet görmüş ve dengesiz bir karakter. Sürekli başkalarına bel bağlayan, tüm yükü çocukların omzuna bırakan, Teddy’i terk edemeyen ve ilaçlarla ayakta duran bir anne.
Bu aile yapısının içinde, ilk çocuk Darren’ın 18 yaşında evi terk etmesiyle birlikte tüm sorumluluk henüz 12 yaşındaki Joey’nin omuzlarına kalıyor. Joey, kardeşleri için sadece bir abi değil, adeta anne-baba oluyor.
♡♡♡ "It’s n-not fair on y-you… always h-having to s-save me.”
“That’s my job, Shan. I’m your big brother. I will always stick up for you.” ♡♡♡
Joey, Aoife Malloy’u gördüğü ilk gün ona tutuluyor ve o ilk karşılaşma anlarından itibaren her bir diyaloglarına hayran kaldım. Aoife tam Joey’nin ihtiyacı olan kişiydi: sosyal, kendine güvenen, hazır cevap ve asla geri adım atmayan bir karakter. Ne istediğini biliyordu ve istediği şey Joey’di.
♡♡♡ “How about the universe where you quit pretending that my mere presence irritates you and admit that you adore the ground I walk on .” ♡♡♡
Joey’nin hayatındaki iniş çıkışlar, onların ilişkisinde de aynı etkiyi yaratıyor. Dahası, Aoife’nın da anne ve babasının problemli ilişkisinden kaynaklanan kendi travmaları ve güven sorunları var. Ancak bütün bu zorluklara rağmen, Joey zihnini rahatlatmak için haplara yönelirken Aoife hep onun yanında oluyor, onu kurtarmaya çalışıyor. Saving 6 (6'yı Kurtarmak) adı buradan geliyor.
♡♡♡ "What have I gotten myself into?"
"The best relationship
