Recenzii
The splendor and the misery of Reading New India is that it whets the appetite for the fiction it introduces but necessarily fails to satiate the appetite thus awakened.
A thoughtful look, laden with insight, at the ways in which a new India is being written and read.
Varughese's book is a gift for academics teaching Indian writing in English. And perhaps it will outshine all other books in the 'academic' library with its lively and pulpy, Karan Joharesque cover of bright yellow and pink.
Reading New India provides a much needed and timely introduction to postmillennial India and Indian English literature within India as they move beyond the postcolonial past and forward into 'Newness'.
This is an ambitious and novel project, strenuous though, considering the vast body of literature to be considered. And [Dawson] has done it with a sense of academic objectivity. Reading New India: Post-Millennial Fiction in English - "the first book to focus on fiction at the millennium, the crossroad for India's globalisation" - is not a critique or a collection of reviews of individual novels or a generalised assessment of the oeuvre of individual writers, but a representation of various trends, themes, motifs, lineaments, zeitgeist, dynamic & conflicting cultural mores & values informing the fiction in hand, and an analysis of the core themes of some of the individual typical novels written in different voices.
