Surviving Memories in Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Emily St. John Mandel's Station Eleven

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
This thesis will examine one novel that portrays the disintegration of human life if non-human memory is irrevocably broken, and one novel that portrays survivors rebuilding communities from cultural memories because non-human memory fortuitously remains intact. This thesis argues that healthy non-human memory is essential to the survival of humans and non-human memory.
