Narayan, G.V. Desani, Anita Desai, Zulfikar Ghose, Suniti Namjoshi, and Salman Rushdie have in common? They represent Indian writing in English over five decades. Vilified by many cultural nationalists for not writing in native languages, they nonetheless present a critique of the historical and cultural conditions that promoted and sustained writing in English. They also have in common a counterrealist aesthetic that asks its own social, political, and textual questions. This book is about the need to look at the tradition of Indian writing in English from the perspective of counterrealism. The departure from the conventions of mimetic writing not only challenges the limits of realism but also enables Indo-Anglian authors to access formative areas of colonial experience. Kanaganayakam analyzes the fiction of writers who work in this vibrant Indo-Anglian tradition and demonstrates patterns of continuity and change during the last five decades. Each chapter draws attention to what is distinctive about the artifice in each author while pointing to the features that connect them. The book concludes with a study of contemporary writing and its commitment to non-mimetic forms. 606 $aIndic fiction (English)$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndic literature (English)$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aIndic fiction (English)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndic literature (English)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a823/.91409954 700 $aKanaganayakam$b C$g(Chelvanayakam),$f1952-$01484623 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782716803321 996 $aCounterrealism and Indo-Anglian fiction$93703357 997 $aUNINA
