| description | According to Peter Brooks we read moved by our desire for the end, for the recognition which is the moment of the death of the reader in the text, and a substitue for our desire for death and dissolution.

The present paper focuses on the implications of Lodge's decision to end his novel unexpectedly in the light of the ambiguous relationship between realism and postmodernism. |
