In this paper, the researcher looks the possibilities of cross stream relations
between postmodern philosophy and postcolonial theory. The critical attitude of
postmodernism helps to ground the intellectual revolutions against the
imperialistic vision of colonialism. It critiques the power of knowledge to
deconstruct the European imperialism and Eurocentric epistemology. In the
present paper, the researcher has applied the qualitative and interpretive
methodology. Moreover, the text focused working method is used to interpret the
works of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Jean-Francois Lyotard, the leading
strategists of the postmodern age. It is found that they set the direction of
the movement and enriched it against the reason, truth and knowledge oriented
approaches of modernism. In cognizance of this, the texts of the intellectuals
of third world countries; Edward Said, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Homi K.
Bhabha, Chinua Achebe etc., are analysed here as corresponding to the voice of
the post-modern vanguards. They, in line with postmodern thinkers, questioned
the Eurocentric approaches of colonial empire. Postcolonialism, in response to
the colonial version of reason and reality, claims that in the name of
so-called ‘reason, truth and knowledge' western civilization has always wrought
its superiority on Asian and African countries. A succinct study of
postcolonial and postmodern thinkers reveals that the truth represented by the
colonial body of text is one way of thinking. Therefore, metaphysically they
challenged the power of knowledge and believe that it was a colonial strategy
to propagate an imperialistic reality to impose the superiority of Caucasian
culture over the Asiatic and Africans. While, concurrently, epistemologically
they criticize reason and also emphasize on the subjective version of reality
and repudiate the Eurocentric notion of objective reality. They disregard the
objective reality which western authorities used to colonize the thoughts and
the ideas of the native people.

Beliefs and values of a person transforms when death waits at every
waking moment. In Elie Wiesel's memoir, “Night”, Wiesel finds ways from his
companions and morals to survive the Holocaust. It is expected that the
Holocaust survivors would lose faith in God, their determination to go on
living, and their reliance in others because of the horrific experiences that
they faced day to day. But Elie Wiesel on the other hand, endured the
sufferings in the concentration camp. It is explicable that men in
concentration camp would question their faith in God while they were to face
death either in the gas chamber or in a revolver head. A person would question
living when he sees the demise of loved ones and fellow Jews right before his
eyes. When starting to give up on all hope of life and God, it would be
anticipated that one would no longer trust others, especially when they are
fighting each other for their own survival. Contradictory to this, Elie Wiesel
stood strong as much as he could. Night illustrates the values in human ties
even during the anguish of the reprehensible treatment that the Jews received
every day.

Dissociative identity disorder or alter ego which means ‘the other’ explains exactly what modern man widely suffers. Modern man realizes that the floor on which he stands is about to collapse down and under which there is nothing but darkness and madness. Therefore he creates an apollonian world that veils Dionysian pit. He disguises himself in other identities, other characters, which he creates, not to cease to exist. When his apollonian world collapses, modern man is aware of what is broken is not the mirror but his fragmented ‘self’. This study aims to reveal the Dionysian madness of Domostroy behind the mirror analyzing the lives of the characters in Jerzy Kosinski with the help of various terms. Moreover the title ‘Pinball’ is a nice metaphor for the events in the lives of the characters in the novel bouncing and reversing identities and partners like a ball in a machine. He doesn't hit it on the head too hard or lean on it more than it's able to support, and it works.
