| Abstract: | Summary: The article deals with the study of social and philosophical problems in the novel “Homer and Langley” by American writer Edgar Lawrence Doctorow viewed through postmodernism categories. The different opinions to the creative work of the writer as the creator of “new” historical past are demonstrated. The author attempts to determine such main issues in the novel, as: problem of reclusion, loneliness, misunderstanding between the individual and the society, value of love and care, the nature of eccentric people, outsiders; the mystery of the human mind and destiny. |
