Описание: In this literary analysis, David D. Galloway explores how postwar American novelists like William Styron, Saul Bellow, and J.D. Salinger navigate the absurdity of the modern condition through their protagonists. The text argues that while each era faces its own "peculiar horrors," the constants of life—such as love, death, and the search for meaning—remain the primary focus for the absurd hero. Galloway examines the evolution of the rebel figure, moving from the paralyzing despair and yearning for innocence found in Styron’s Lie Down in Darkness to the more affirmative, creative force seen in Bellow’s seekers and Salinger’s pursuit of a love ethic. Ultimately, the source suggests that the contemporary novel serves as a vital defense of humanity, asserting that the act of believing in human existence is the only effective antidote to a chaotic and fragmented world.
