The
Book :
This anthology, consisting of sixteen critical essays and
one interview, attempts to explore and evaluate the 'writing
difference' in the novels of Shashi Deshpande. Closely focused
on her major concerns such as the enigmatic fissures in human
relationships, the arresting figurations of autonomy and responsibility,
the challenging dilemmas of cultural representation, of resistance
and reconci-liation in an urban, postcolonial, Indian milieu,
the volume equally makes for an indepth reading and scrutiny
of each of Deshpande's novels published so far. Critical perspectives
in these essays, though varied, complement each other and
notably cohere to enhance the reader's understanding of this
major Indian English novelist of our times.
