Modern novel writers are employing more and more historical events in fiction writing. This is especially true in the case of Black British and Australian literatures and this fact has provoked discussion and tensions on the feasibility of coping with these two highly problematic modes of narration. Flanagan’s recent novel Wanting shows how the horrors of cultural annihilation and resistance represented in fiction by parody, irony, humor and puns give more highlighted effects on the tragedy of colonized peoples than the strict laws of historical narration.
