Taste of the Lemon
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The third novel Fruit of the Lemon (1999) by Andrea Levy deals similarly to her previous novels Every Light in the House Burning' and Never Far From Nowhere with the quest for identity. W.E.B. Du Bois in his Souls of the Black Folk (1897) and Paul Gilroy in Black Atlantic (1993) have called the dilemma of reconciling two identities double consciousness. Levy herself in an essay "This Is My England" (Guardian, 2000) explains her attitude to double consciousness and identity: "Identity! Sometimes it makes my head hurt—sometimes my heart. So what am I? Where do I fit into Britain?" She explores this topic in the novel through the eyes of the second generation of post-war Caribbean immigration in the United Kingdom. The state of being split between two cultures is indicated even by the structure of the novel, which is composed of two halves. Whereas the first part focuses on life in England, the second is devoted to Jamaica. England is depicted as boring, flat, grey, and full of clichés and prejudice, in contrast to Jamaica, which is portrayed as a country full of colours, spirit and adventure.
