Recent Research Interests

My interests are in the field of literature written in English. Recently my focus has been on the English novels and stories written both by modernist and postmodernist writers. For several years I have tried to read postmodern texts through narratological approach. Narratology refers to the study of narrative and the ways that given narratives affect readers’ perception. My particular interest is in narrative embedding (i.e., story within a story), the communication conducted between characters in a story world, and their usage of communication media. With these focuses in my mind I wish to contribute to students’ deeper understanding of English, literature, verbal communication, and language as a whole.
