Produktbeschreibung
An analysis of Hollinghurts's novels reveal the fact that the homosexual male characters have difficulties in building their selves and identities and hence they cannot find legitimate places in society and be part of a community. The present study reveals that the failed search of Hollinghurst's homosexual characters for an identity and community leads them to alternative ways of self-realisation. Because they cannot build themselves 'legitimate' identities, the literary characters analysed within the scope of this study try to reach self-fulfillment through literature, sexuality and aesthetics. Through literature and fiction, the homosexual man tries to position himself in a tradition and history; through sexual gratification he attempts to compensate for his continuous alienation and ignorance by society and through aesthetic concerns he tries to strengthen his self.
