Insanity In Alan Nadel

. There is no predictiablity or structure in a world where everyone is mad. Insanity may be the only alternative, but even so it doesn’t save anyone. Alan Nadel puts it like this: “Instead of following a traditional plot sturcture, the novel is intricately orgainzed around the interplay of numerous characters whose conflicts perpetually recontextualize situations from absolute and relative perspectives that ultimately present the ‘history’ of World War II (history in general) as an expression of power caught in an infitinte play of difference”(Nadel, 167). This play is so prevalent in the language used in the novel as well as the opposing characters ideals.
