Drieling, Claudia
Constructs of "Home" in Gloria Naylor's Quartet

Drawing on the concept of "lifeworld" Claudia Drieling's book delves deeply into intrinsic aspects of home in the quartet. The section on food uncovers the role of selected foods in the texts and connects them to their historical roots. But it is the analysis of Naylor's character names that opens up previously overlooked areas of the quartet. As a bonus, the book provides two interviews with Naylor that were conducted specifically for this study.
