Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2006 Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for her second novel The Inheritance of Loss, Kiran Desai is one of the most talented writers of her generation. Now available for the first time as a Grove Press paperback, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard—Desai’s dazzling debut novel—is a wryly hilarious and poignant story that simultaneously captures the vivid culture of the Indian subcontinent and the universal intricacies of human experience. Sampath Chawla was born in a time of drought into a family not quite like other families, in a town not quite like other towns. After years of failure at school, failure at work, of spending his days dreaming in tea stalls, it does not seem as if Sampath is going to amount to much—until one day he climbs a guava tree in search of peaceful contemplation and becomes unexpectedly famous as a holy man, sending his tiny town into turmoil. A syndicate of larcenous, alcoholic monkeys terrorize the pilgrims who cluster around Sampath’s tree, spies and profiteers descend on the town, and none of Desai’s outrageous characters goes unaffected as events spin increasingly out of control.

Book excerpt: As a distinct area of literary study, Asian American literature now enjoys a level of critical recognition that was unimaginable when academic interest in the field began modestly some 25 years ago. Part of this recognition stems from the increasing contributions of Asian American novelists, whose works continue to capture growing levels of popular attention. This reference book provides alphabetically arranged entries for 70 Asian American novelists. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and provides a short biography, a discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the novelist's critical reception, and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. In addition, the volume concludes with a selected, general bibliography.

This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject American Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: Kiran Desai has created an indelible space for herself in Indian writings in English with the publication of her two novels "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" and "The Inheritance of Loss". "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" fetched for Desai the Betty Trask Award in 1998, while "The Inheritance of Loss" made her the youngest, female recipient of the coveted Man Booker Prize, in 2006. As a globalized citizen, Desai has explored the ramifications of being a globalized citizen hip hopping countries and continents. This study deals with globalization in both her novels "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" and "The Inheritance of Loss". It shows the changes that have crept into India after thorough globalization of the world. They show how Indians and Indian sensibilities have changed with globalization. Globalization refers to an increase of globalism. It refers to an increase in global relationships in socio-economic, technological and cultural domains. It denotes the buildup of a new global order in political, economic and cultural arenas. Desai through her two novels "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" and "The Inheritance of Loss" talks about the positive and negative aspects associated with globalization. The novel "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" presents the effects of globalization on Indian society and India as an economy. "The Inheritance of Loss" depicts the effects of globalization on Indian society, and Indian immigrants abroad. Hinting at the advantages associated with globalization, both the novels hint at the erasure of individual and cultural identity on account of globalization when locals in India or Indian immigrants abroad do not guard themselves against the negative aspects of globalization.

This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of its kind to examine the theories of nation and national identity in both the West (according to the theories of Benedict Anderson and Salman Rushdie) and in the East (in the light of the works of Jawaharlal Nehru) as they apply to the novels of Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai. The second part of the twentieth century witnessed a new interface between fiction and history called “New History”. It brought into its purview the hitherto marginalized sections of society like slaves, peasants, workers, women, and children. Whereas the subalterns in The Inheritance of Loss are disempowered by the brunt of globalisation and neo-colonialism, the subalterns in The God of Small Things face the ire of the deep-seated divisions based on caste and gender bias in a postcolonial society. In addition, this book also deals with contemporary social issues like individual identity in a multicultural world where cultures and nature converge into myriad ways of living. It will be of immense benefit to MA and MPhil students all over India, as well as to PhD scholars and teachers of English literature both in India and abroad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love, Violence, and Identity are multifaceted concepts of life in general and literature in particular. Much has already been written on the themes of love, violence, and identity in English literature till date; however, these emotions are still inexplicable to one and all. Love, violence, and identity have multiple connotations as words and these emotions keep multifarious nuances as expressions. On the other hand, when we try to understand them in comparison, the implications turn out to be multidimensional. This book presents a comparative study of the themes of love, violence, and identity in such a unique manner that it helps to comprehend the hidden meanings of these cumbersome concepts, and at the same time, it opens up certain remarkably new avenues of learning in the field of Comparative Literature Studies.
