IDENTITY IN PROGRESS - CIHAN YAZGI KARTONIERT (TB)

Why do we believe what we believe in? Where are the values that we take for granted in
constructing our identity coming from? Do we know how we came to be the person that is us?
Identity in Progress is a book that tries to trace the value construction processes by way of
analysing Nobel Prize-winning British author Kazuo Ishigurös two top novels The Remains of the
Day and Never Let Me Go. The former shows an old butler now sceptical about his unshakeable
loyalty to whatever he once believed to constitute ¿dignity ¿ the latter shows a young woman on
a journey  both literally and metaphorically  to find out who or what she is. With Fredric
Jameson¿s words on ¿the propaedeutic value of art¿ in mind  Identity in Progress provides a
refreshing reading of the two novels with a Marxist perspective  revealing  as Jameson says 
the historical and social essence of what we believe to be individual experiences.
