Abstract: | The focus of my research is on the clash of hedonistic American culture and fundamental Islamic culture, which is based on the life-styles led by the major characters in John Updike's Terrorist. This sturdy clash is not visible in the superficial ordinariness of the novel as it is completely covert. However, this research work makes an effort to do a thorough excavation, interpretation and analysis of the American life-styles so as to aptly externalize the collision of the aforementioned cultures on the solid foundations of a sturdy clash between Teresa and Ahmad, the representatives of hedonistic American culture and fundamental Islamic culture respectively, in the novel. |
