Sažetak
The paper sets out to explore a notion of freedom that Hanif Kureishi articulates in his short stories, focusing particularly on the collections 'Love in a Blue Time' and 'Midnight All Day'. Kureishi’s stories almost always narrated from the point of view of a middle- aged man are here analysed in the light of Zygmunt Baumann’s theories of liquid modernity and liquid love. The paper attempts to demonstrate that these men are confined to a sort of a perpetual treadmill of misery. It is argued that most protagonists of his stories are largely unable to manage their lives and relationships, living in a contemporary world that allows individuals to enjoy excesses of freedom and infinite possibilities.
