The Routledge Companion to Twenty-First-Century Indian Fiction in English explores key trends in Indian fiction in English from the millennium onwards, offering a comprehensive, critical survey of the field.
Indian Fiction in English has undergone significant transformations since the millennium. Now firmly integrated into the global literary market, it speaks to and of an India that continues to rapidly change, socially, culturally, and politically. This timely intervention into the study offers crucial exposure and fundamental analyses of works published by writers such as Jerry Pinto, Nilanjana Roy, Anjum Hasan, Raj Kamal Jha, Kavery Nambisan, Temsula Ao, Chetan Bhagat, Anuradha Roy, R. Raj Rao, Samit Basu, Janice Pariat, Sarnath Banerjee, and Anuja Chauhan. Twenty-five essays and four narrative-interviews by leading and emerging international scholars cover topics such as:
- Urban India and place-making in the twenty-first century;
- Resistance and struggle across Indian society in the political, corporate, education, and health sectors;
- Gender, sexualities, intergenerational relationships, and coming-of-age experiences;
- Environmentalism, climate-change, and speculative futures;
- Form and style, including analysis of genres such as crime fiction, chick lit, romance as well as graphic narratives, Indian Englishes, and book cover design;
- Literary festivals, the publishing scene both lay/commercial and the landscape of academic journals in the field.
The Routledge Companion to Twenty-First-Century Indian Fiction in English offers a rich exploration of contemporary matters central to the field. It also considers new perspectives and asks challenging questions about the production and circulation of this body of writing. This authoritative collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of post-millennial Indian fiction in English.
