The Book "the Scatter is here too great" by Bilal Tanweer. Urban Chaos and Post-Traumatic Growth

Summary Excerpt Details

The thesis "The Smell of Survival: Urban Chaos and Post-Traumatic Growth in The Scatter Here is Too Great by Bilal Tanweer" aims to explore the nature of trauma and post-traumatic growth in Bilal Tanweer’s The Scatter Here is Too Great. The central concern of this research work is to excavate various ways through which characters try to survive and grow in the midst of urban catastrophe. The thesis intends to put the novel into a larger context of trauma fiction, which has gained prominence in the last few decades.

The work is divided into four chapters; the project addresses its main research questions in an introduction and presents Bilal Tanwer’s notion regarding trauma and survival and encapsulates some of critical approaches towards traumatic literature. Chapter two named Literature review is divided into two parts, as it is taken as a touchstone in order to highlight the literary worth of this critical work and identify the research gap. Its first fragment presents the ground on which primary and literary and various symbols are related to trauma and psychological interpretations towards it. The latter part deals with the portrayal of Tanweer’s contribution to the South Asian trauma fiction. The third chapter entitled; “Trauma and Remembering: Individual and Collective dimensions”, deals with the various responses of the characters towards trauma and its impact on personal and social life by applying principles of Cathy Caruth and Kai Erikson. Finally fourth chapter entitled; “An examination of Hope: Surviving through trauma” displays the psychological revival of the characters, by applying Tedeschi and Calhoun’s model of Posttraumatic Growth, and the resilient nature of city. The conclusion reflects upon the importance of narratives in the process of healing and finding meaning of life.
