		<description><![CDATA[The detailed expedition of a strong female character&#8217;s consciousness has made readers in recent decades consider Jane Eyre as a leading feminist text; the novel works both as an absorbing story of an individual woman&#8217;s quest and as a narrative of the dilemmas that confront so many women. Its mythic and gothic qualities are enhanced by the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it is safe to say that Franz Kafka&#8216;s literary uniqueness lies in the fact that he dramatizes conventional figures of speech and endows them with full and consistent detail; his tales act out the implications of metaphors buried in the text. Yet, to see nothing but an extended metaphor in Kafka&#8217;s work is not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perhaps the best approach to gloss over the context of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s first novel is by introducing this snippet from “Fitzgerald’s Radiant World,” a critical piece written by Thomas Flanagan of The New York Reviews of Books: This Side of Paradise had had a success, which was almost freakish, capturing the aspirations of a [...]]]></description>

William Stoner, whose the book is dedicated to, had spent his childhood and few of his adult years in a most banal of bucolic lifestyles, [...]]]></description>

I think the reason I was able to survive my own dejections is due to the great journeys these books have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would be fair to confess that my adulation for Revolutionary Road had galvanized my impulses to purchase the rest of Richard Yates’s oeuvres, possibly as a self-conceivable mean to prop up his forgotten works even by the tinniest margins. I am fixated on reading them sequentially by their years of publication, simply to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has been almost three months since I finished Haruki Murakami’s “The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle”, a modern tale of magical realism that echoes a comparable stupefaction to “Alice in the Wonderland”. Though, unlike Lewis Carroll&#8216;s masterpiece, Chronicle evokes both delightful musings of an ordinary man and sometimes a grotesque depiction of a sympathetic nature of Japan&#8217;s involvement [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the midst of egotism, self-denial, social conformism, and self-made delusions that seem to pervade a large sum of Richard Yates’ Revolutionary Road, the voice of reason seems to lose its echo among all the society’s hypocrisy. Yet, Yates’ commentary manages to be carried out by his characters, even though their selfish acts often overlap [...]]]></description>
