영문 초록

This study is to investigate the act of writing in A House for Mr. Biswas and The Mimic Men. These autobiographical novels are inter- textured each other especially in three main characters' colonial and post- colonial experiences and their diasporic histories. Mr. Biswas, an illiterate tenant's son, works in different kinds of writing acts from sign paintings to literary ones; all of his writings are a way to overcome his fear of falling into the void, whereas they are records of his frustration at expressing reality under the colonial regime as well. The only moment he feels satisfaction with his writings is when using humorous satire on the absurd realities in Hindi groupism and British colonialism. Anand, Mr. Biswas's son, and Ralph Singh share imbricated similarities in their family relations and school lives, which can be considered the different personas of one person. Besides, the two characters are aware of their marginality and pursue the centrality of the British. Anand's writing reveals the sprout of self- awareness while that of Singh is a medium to diagnose his past and present, and seek self-knowledge. He contends that his writing is to present order to the disordered situation like his surroundings. Through the process of writing he defines himself and the post- colonial society as mimic men.
