Camouflage of Fragmentation and Alienation in Nathanael West’s A Cool Million

Abstract

This paper looks at West's parody and spoof of the different schools of thoughtful and creative ideas that go before and support the Modern development. By uncovering the silliness of Western thought in the middle twentieth century, West could demonstrate the fracture and estrange he saw in both society and the self. Those revelation about this rubbish turns under a deconstructive contraption that every last one of same time indicates techniques for making importance in the twentieth century, Furthermore that censures any rationale in perspective of escape from torment.
