A Hermeneutical Reading of a Postmodern British Novel. Time and Narrative in David Lodgeʼs “Thinks...”. The present paper investigates two aspects of a postmodern British novel. From a narratological perspective, we will examine the ways in which time - as a theme, on the one hand, and as a fictional issue, on the other - is constructed in David Lodgeʼs “Thinks…”. Leaving behind post-structuralist instruments of analysis (deconstructive reading practices), the article will argue in favor of a more nuanced approach by showing the advantages of utilizing hermeneutical and phenomenological instruments in exploring postmodernist techniques of emplotment.
Keywords: hermeneutics, time, narratology, postmodernism, reading, phenomenology.
