Abstract :
Billy''s incessant quest is an active attempt to deconstruct the modern materialistic life in the upper class India and America, with its life-denying and vitality-choking structures to a life of human fullness and wholesomeness among the primitives “untouched by the sophistication, inhibitions and restraints of the civilized world.” However Billy remains an eternal deconstructionist. Having realized the fullness of self, Billy wants to go even beyond it. He deconstructs the so-called simplicity of the primitive society also. He knows he is needed there too as “it is amazing how unhappy everyone really is, even here” in the primitive society.
