With reference to one or more short stories, analyse how Carey forces the reader to 'hesitate' between two concepts of reality. Why is this significant? .
Response.
The conventions of this paper will analyse the Peter Carey stories in The Collected Stories of Peter Carey, "The Chance" and "Crabs" (Carey, 1995). Peter Carey is a renowned Australian author famous for creating his own grotesque reality, by combining fantasy and the real into many of his works. The paper will research how Peter Carey enforces his writing style and techniques to make the reader 'hesitate' between two concepts of reality. The analysis of The Chance and Crabs reveals contrasting attributes in how Peter Carey depicts the two concepts of reality. Evidently, it is more apparent to the reader throughout The Chance that the story is set not in a realist world however something more out of a sci-fi genre. His other works such as Crabs is significantly contrasting, leaving the reader hesitant on the realism of the story throughout the entire passage. .
Peter Carey employs various idea's into the readers mind to induce hesitation between two concepts of reality. This is evidently depicted in Peter Carey's story The Chance. Throughout the futuristic plot, right from the outset Carey immerses the reader into a new, foreign world by utilising words such as 'Fastalogians' and 'Genetic Lottery' (Carey, 1995 p. 3). Instantly readers are obligated to consider the question, what are/is 'Fastalogians' and the 'Genetic lottery?' Through the passage however, readers are able to relate to this foreign reality through utilising minor realist items such as cigarettes, alcohol, button up shirts and typical seasonal patterns. The beginning of The Chance is the foremost section of the story which the reader is in limbo with deciphering between the two concepts of reality. Evidence from the text describes the Fastalogians; 'their clothes were worn badly, ill-fitting, often with childish mistakes, like buttoning the third through the fourth buttonhole' (Carey, 1995 p.
