The present article attempts an analysis of two novels written by contemporary South Asian- American writers: Jasmine by Bharati Mukherjee and The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Both texts are literary explorations of an Indian immigrant experience in the US in the final decades of the 20th century, yet they do not render this experience in a strictly realistic fashion. This article is aimed to compare the two novels in terms of their realism, with a special emphasis placed on the roles which the departures from the conventionally understood realism play in the authors’ designs.

This article constitutes an analysis of the depiction of houses in Jonathan Lethem’s 2003 novel The Fortress of Solitude, universally labeled a novel of gentrification. It is my contention that despite being criticized for its alleged celebration of the process the text nevertheless paints a more nuanced picture of gentrification. It does so through the depiction of houses—t he titular brownstones of this essay—that function both as a synecdoche for a larger neighborhood or community that they are situated in and as a reflection of the dynamics of the family units that occupy them.

Niniejszy artykuł stanowi analizę opisów domów w wydanej w 2003 r. powieści Jonathana Lethema Twierdza samotności. Uznana za powieść o gentryfikacji i szeroko krytykowana za rzekomą jej celebrację, powieść szkicuje dużo bardziej wyważony obraz procesów gentryfikacji. Dzieje się tak dzięki reprezentacjom domów, tytułowych brooklyńskich kamienic, które funkcjonują zarówno jako synekdocha okolicy czy społeczności, w której się znajdują, oraz jako odbicie dynamiki rodzin je zamieszkujących.
