This book attempts to establish that a search for one’s self in Indian English fiction distinctively enough, culminates in an identification of individual self with the Absolute. Three novelists — Aran Joshi, Raja Rao and Sudhin N. Ghose — who are considered to be representing three unrelated concerns come in for analysis. It is interesting to see how these three richly complex novelists opt for a climactic non-dualist metaphysics, so much so, that their protagonists in their autological best congregate to proclaim not Hosanna but Tat Tvam Asi, that art thou.
