Research
Naomi’s thesis takes a combined Text World Theory/possible worlds theory approach to the stylistic analysis of contemporary (i.e. post-2000) winners of the [Man] Booker Prize for Fiction. The thesis focuses upon hypothetical perspectives and scenarios within these works, in particular zeroing in upon the notion of the metaperspective (in essence, a hypothetical outlook as to how one is perceived by others) and its recurrence throughout these narratives. It suggests that these metaperspectives may take a variety of guises: narratorial, communal, racial, or literalised.
