First: the book is typical postmodernism novel

postmodernism                             novel

Postmodernism develop during ’60 and it may tenet are it does no longer belief in concept of truth, it put the question of authority into doubt, it does no longer belief in concept of difference  and in general it happens in open generation. If modernism (cover the first three decades of Eighteenth century) is booking for point of reference and put the question and the research on art and in the centre. Postmodernism question on that and comes to the conclusion of that and no longer a single centre because saying that there is not an absolute truth also implies that there is not meaning.

There is no longer a centre but many centres and therefore meaning is always differed: there is a continuous slipping of meaning because meaning is never stable. The concept is connected to the relationship between:

1. signifier

2. signified

The position is the best one, the privilege one because is the reader makes sense that gives the meaning all the possible meanings.

The examples of postmodernism are “Oranges are not the only fruit” which is a restructure of Bible in a new context and it is intertextuality. David Lodge with “Nice Work” in which are two characters Vic Wilcox and Robyn Penrose.
