Q

• Cataclysm, natural or man-made, is one of the most popular themes in
fiction.
• It could mean a violent and large-scale event occurring in the natural
world. Central to the disaster tradition are stories of vast biospheric
changes which drastically affect human life.
• Tales of universal floods and other motifs, such as plagues, fires and
famines, have an obvious source in the Bible, also known as the
apocalypse, where the adjective “apocalyptic” , is derived from.
• Disaster stories appeal because they represent everything readers
most fear and at the same time, perhaps, secretly desire: a
depopulated world, escape from the constraints of a highly organized
industrial society, the opportunity to prove one’s ability as a survivor.

Q

• As contemporary readers can look back on history and see how history has
been depicted differently for different audiences, history and memory have
become themes in 21st century literature.

and acknowledges that history is filtered through human perspective and
experience.
• Contemporary writers often consciously draw inspiration and ideas from the
writers who have come before them. As a result, many works of 21st century
literature grapple with the events, movements, and literature of the past in
order to make sense of the present.

addresses migration thematically and, in some cases,

its form, the migration novel specifically sets out to express
the content of our experiences interculturalism and

same experiences (Frank, S., 2008)
