Postmodern Indian English Literature

Postmodernism in Indian English literature refers to the works of literature after 1980. If Raja Rao’s Kanthapura (1938) marks modernism, Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981) and Nissim Ezekiel’s Latter-Day Psalms (1982) mark postmodernism in Indian English literature. In this book, an earnest effort has been made to analyse Postmodern Indian English literature genre-wise—poetry, novel, short story, drama and autobiography. An easily comprehensible critical history of Indian English literature in the postmodern period, it is meant for students, researchers as well as teachers who seek an introduction to it.
