Conclusion - Rohinton Mistry: international man of stories -- Notes -- Select bibliography -- Index.This study - the first of its kind - situates Rohinton Mistry's writing in its cultural and historical context. It explores key features, such as the legacy of Zoroastrianism, Parsi anglophilia, recent Indian history, the conventions of oral storytellling common to Persia and South Asia, and the experience of migration which now sees him living in Canada. The texts are viewed through the lens of diaspora and minority discourse theories to show how Mistry's writing is illustrative of marginal positions in relation to sanctioned national identities.Contemporary world writers.LiteraturemupLiterary Studies: Fiction, Novelists & Prose WritersbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / GeneralbisachAsiathemaliteraturemistrypostcolonialparsiIndiaJahangirMumbaiParsisZoroastrianismLiteratureLiterary Studies: Fiction, Novelists & Prose WritersLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / GeneralAsia823.914Morey Peter527142UkMaJRUBOOK9910145016603321Rohinton Mistry1801988UNINA
