Conforming to the American school of comparative literature, an attempt is made to compare two semiautobiographical cum fictional works from different geographical areas – the United States and India – with exclusive focus on the modus operandi employed to narrate the books. The books Naked Lunch (1959) by William S. Burroughs and Zero Degree (1998) by Charu Niveditha (Translated into English from Tamil by Pritham K Chakravarthy & Rakesh Khanna, 2008) were written half a century apart, in an entirely contrasting literary as well as social background, yet a striking similarity unites these books in a rather astonishing manner – the nonlinearity in the narration of the social issues in a chaotic and explicit manner. These books share similarity not just in structure, narration, and content but also in the reception of the books among masses. This paper attempts to delineate those unifying qualities and also highlight the subtle cultural differences they exhibit.
