About this book
Reviews
“A timely piece of work. Not only does it survey key fiction texts which speak to and of post-millennial India, it raises theoretical issues of representation amidst the shifting landscape of writing and publishing in India, and the reception of such published material in the West. This theoretical positioning is the book’s most valuable component and it works at its best when the analyses of the texts and the publishing/literary scene connect back to this paradigm.” (E. Dawson Varughese, Asiatic, Vol. 9 (2), December, 2015)
