T1 The Last ofthe Savages: la búsqueda de la consecución del sueño americano frente al idealismo y la rebeldía
A1 Mora González, Lucía
AB The 1980s were a decade of profound change within the Americanliterary scope producing a reaction against the postmodernist movement.The writers associated with the so-called minimalism depictedcontemporary life and dealt with inarticulate characters who are bewilderedby their problems. In the course of time, social context is notbeing employed as a metaphysical absolute against which all ideas andcultural products must be measured; instead the aim is to offer a moregeneral interaction among literary genres, including critical theory. Thus,the relationship with historical conditions produces an interpretationthat shows how those conditions are seen in recent American narrative.Jay McInerney’s novel The Last of the Savages reflects two differentworlds in which Patrick Keane aspires to ascent into the upper class,while Will dedicates himself to “freeing the slaves”. Although Patricand Will remain friends over the next thirty years, they pursue radicallydivergent destinies.
