Shadows of War and the Lives of Exiles: A Comparative Study of How the Lost Generation and the Tangier Writers Represent War in Literature

This study compares representations of war by the Lost Generation and the Tangier writers in the contexts of World Wars I and II. Writing from the exile space of Paris, the Lost Generation depicted war-induced disillusionment and moral emptiness while seeking an ethics of human dignity, exemplified by Hemingway’s “grace under pressure.” Fitzgerald exposed the hollowness of Jazz Age glamour and postwar psychological collapse, while Dos Passos critiqued the structural violence of military and capitalist systems that instrumentalize individuals. By contrast, Tangier writers such as Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, and Jean Genet explored hybridity, outsider identity, and existential dislocation in the de-centered, postcolonial city of Tangier shaped by Cold War geopolitics. In short, while the Lost Generation clung to residual ethics amid the ruins of war, the Tangier writers pushed the postwar world toward the collapse of identity itself.
