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. 410 0$aContemporary world writers. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 610 $aFamily Matters. 610 $aFine Balance. 610 $aIndia. 610 $aIndian political history. 610 $aMan Booker Prize. 610 $aParsee. 610 $aRohinton Mistry. 610 $adiaspora. 610 $amigration. 610 $apostcolonial literature. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a823.9'14 700 $aMorey$b Peter$0527142 702 $aMorey$b Peter 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910145016603321 996 $aRohinton Mistry$91801988 997 $aUNINA
