Shepard's and Pirandello's Selected Works as Indeterminate Texts: A poststructuralist Study

The book "Shepard's and Pirandello's Selected Works as Indeterminate Texts: A Poststructuralist Study" offers an in-depth analysis of the works of Luigi Pirandello and Sam Shepard from a poststructuralist perspective. The author, Mehdi Sepehrmanesh, examines the concepts of indeterminacy and truth, which gained significance in philosophy after the world wars. Through the lens of thinkers such as Derrida, Paul de Man, and Nietzsche, the relationship between language, meaning, and the nature of reality is illuminated. The study analyzes specific works, including Pirandello's "Six Characters in Search of an Author" and Shepard's "True West," demonstrating how these texts reflect the uncertainties and ambiguities of human experience. With an interdisciplinary approach that also incorporates modern physical theories, the book provides valuable insights into contemporary philosophical questions.
