英文摘要 | Shyam Selvadurai, in Funny Boy, and Timothy Mo, in The Redundançy of Courage, break new ground in the portrayal of a coming of age novel by choosing gay protagonists to tell their own story. While there are stark differences between the twoSelvadurai’s is much younger and naive, while Mo’s is worldlywise and a bit effete- the two books are important examples of authors finding a new (and challenging) agent to demonstrate that alterity has a voice in the building of nations in a postcolonial age that cannot ignore cultural migration in the processes of globalization. |
