| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Don Delillo’s The Underworld, is a fiction about a collection of the untold and forgotten stories of last fifty years. The history of the Cold War nearly disappears from American consciousness. Even in garbage and waste, there are historical evidences available in the form of trash. The heap of trash is also the source of history which carries the relegated historical truths and evidences. The novel is a counter-history, a fictional mode that allows the novelist to examine the small anonymous corners of human experience that has been hidden within history. Delillo, by mixing waste, aesthetic and history creates a space, which helps him to recover what has been relegated to the trash heap of history. Textbook or official history ignores the historical evidences, which were available as a trash bin and Historiographic Metafiction salvages the truth and reconstructs history from the recovered evidences. The novel mixes with fiction and history so that it fits to the Historiographic Metafiction | |
