Murdoch Iris

Summary

 

Iris Murdoch: Under the Net

The novel Under the Net (1954), the debut of writer Iris Murdoch, included the author in the generation of "angry young people". It is made up of a series of hero's experiences, more often in inconvenient than favorable circumstances, in search of a more permanent job, erotic satisfaction and social stability.

Jake Donaghue, the hero of the novel, is a modern intellectual, but a man without a right of refuge, literally on the street. In conversations and encounters that lead him from one situation to another, Jake encounters various patterns of behavior, thinking, attitudes towards life, experiencing reality. It is an excellent entertaining read without the frowning or hard-to-pass seriousness that is often burdened by works that rely on some philosophical system (in this case, existentialism). The interestingness of the plot and its comedy is not only in the colorfulness and unexpectedness of the events (an important protagonist is, for example, the German shepherd, Mister Mars), but in the combination of chance and network, in the way in which the network of circumstances is imposed and circumvented.

With the combination of sensitivity and comedy, original characters and a symbolic story, Iris Murdoch continues the characteristic English combined tradition of eccentricity and sense of reality.
