Abstract

This paper provides a critical reading of the contemporary English author Ian ‎McEwans third novel, entitled The Child in Time (1987). Arguing that McEwan ‎writes to dissect and criticize contemporary culture, I offer a reading of his novel as a ‎literary intervention into a cultural debate. In my reading, I consider the text to be a ‎dream about certain events and characters that are the metaphoric representations of a ‎psychic structure. More than the psyche of the author as an individual, this structure ‎pertains to contemporary society and its predominant culture. Therefore, my purpose ‎is not to read McEwans novel in order to identify his assumed repressed wishes or ‎personal fantasies, but to analyse the narrative as a literary construct that gives us ‎access to a SOCIETAL UNCONSCIOUS. The nightmarish world that McEwan depicts in his ‎fiction, in other words, is regarded as the social context out of which the individual's ‎self is shaped‏.‏
