Book Description
About The Book

The emerging dominance of Indian English writing has made its presence felt in the world of Booker fiction. The Indian recipients of the celebrated Man Booker Prize have rendered kaleidoscopic narrations about their own nation weaving together fact and fiction, realism and fantasy laced with their own imagination and vision.

The book comprises a collection of 26 articles by eminent scholars who have earnestly discussed, debated and probed into the various facets of the Indian Booker Prize winners, their perceptions and projections of their own country and the question of the West being enamoured by Indian English fiction.

The contributors to the book include literary luminaries like Keki N. Daruwalla-recipient of Sahitya Akedemi Award and the Commonwealth Poetry Award, Prof G.K. Das, N.M. Nigam, Chhaya Jain, R.P. Pradhan, Reena Mitra, Supriya Shukla, and Sunita Sinha, among others.

The contributors offer a candid, categorical and critical analysis of the varied and dynamic imaginations of the award-winning novelists and their presentation of the Indian reality; the intrinsic merit of the Booker Prize winners from India; the image of India created by them in their works; different aspects of human nature that emerge from their novels; the ongoing conflict between the high and the low; and suffering of the poor and the powerless as depicted in the novels of these Booker Prize winners.

The book will be useful for the students and teachers of English Literature, particularly Indian English Literature, and researchers in these fields.

Preface

India today is the cynosure of all eyes. Whether it is India shining or India suffering, she continues to entice the world. Literary artists across the globe are irresistibly drawn to probe into the labyrinthine depths of the India of yesteryears and the present times. Likewise, Indian English writers are persistently exploring and treating artistically the multiple conceptions of India and Indianness. This marketing is attracting the attention of the West. The emerging dominance of Indian English writing has made its presence felt in the world of Booker fiction. The Indian recipients of the celebrated Man Booker Prize have rendered kaleidoscopic narrations about their own nation weaving together fact and fiction, realism and fantasy laced with their own imagination and vision.

The book comprises a collection of 26 essays by literary luminaries and eminent scholars who have earnestly discussed, debated and probed into the various facets of the Indian Booker Prize winners, their perceptions and projections of their own country and the question of the West being enamoured by Indian English fiction. These essays are their deliberations on the topic of the National Seminar organised by the Dept. of English, V.S.S.D. College, Kanpur on "India in the Fiction of Indian Booker Prize Winners".

Recipient of the Sahitya Academi Award and the Commonwealth Poetry Award, a leading figure in Indian English poetry, a poet with a powerfully developed social conscience, Keki N. Daruwalla proffers a candid, categorical and critical analysis of the 'varied and dynamic' imaginations of the award-winning novelists and their presentation of the Indian reality.
