This important new study is aimed at the primary question of a 'new synthesis' proposed by John Banville, the contemporary Irish writer, who foresees the end of postmodernism and the beginning of a new 'ism' or synthesis in art. 'Truth is arbitrary, reality is multifarious, language is not a clear lens.' The analysis of his nine novels is an open dialogue with other fields of knowledge, with the critics of his work and contemporary criticism following the writer's reflections upon the different systems of representation as metafiction, science and the perception of visual arts. The focus is on the interactive process between the observer and the observed in the construction of meanings. The belief that literature is a social practice and literary texts must be analyzed within their contexts permeates this work.
