Novel Worlds (original) (raw)

This paper explores the concept of 'novel worlds' through various literary analyses, highlighting how different authors create and engage with alternate realities within their narratives. By examining the works of Virginia Woolf, Philip K. Dick, and Yan Lianke, it demonstrates how world-making is a fundamental aspect of these novels, reflecting broader socio-political and existential themes. The paper asserts that the creation of these worlds not only serves as a literary device but also articulates the authors' perspectives on reality, identity, and societal structures.
