Justly Forgotten or Unjustly Overlooked? Reconsidering Howard Jacobson’s Coming from Behind
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Howard Jacobson is a British Jewish writer, journalist and former professor of English literature who has authored sixteen novels, starting with his 1983 comic campus novel Coming from Behind, and six works of non-fiction, dealing with his views on a variety of cultural as well as social topics, often motivated by his own experience. While Jacobson got more credit as a writer after he was awarded the Booker Prize for his eleventh novel The Finkler Question in 2010, this recognition does not seem to have initiated a significant interest in his early writing. This paper thus aims to re-evaluate Jacobson’s first novel by contextualizing it within the author’s oeuvre as well as in the tradition of the British campus novel. Paying close attention to the portrayal of British Jewish identity, intertextuality, and the use of comic and satirical elements, it seeks to answer the question to what degree Jacobson’s debut novel laid foundations for his later fiction.
