Perspectives on the Novels of Rohinton Mistry

 
Jaydipsinh Dodiya (Author)
Synopsis Perspectives on the Novels of Rohinton Mistry presents a critical analysis of Rohinton Mistry's novels, which include such a long journey, A fine balance and Family matters. Of different Parsi writers, Rohinton Mistry, the socio-political novelist, has emerged as a formidable writer on the world literary scene. As an Indian who now lives and writers from Canada, he is a writer of the Indian Diaspora. Recently there has been a widespread growth of interest in his writings. The relation between literature and life seems the object of increased attention in his writings. His novels are closely linked with the social and political background of our country. His fiction brilliantly captures the crowded, throbbing life of India. The present book attempts at evaluating the entire range of Rohinton Mistry's novels, especially in the context of Parsi religion and culture. Jaydipsinh K. Dodiya has explored the multiple aspects of Rohinton Mistry's novels, major thematic concerns, his portrayal of characters, and his search for identity, his need for roots and his craftsmanship. The present book makes a rich contribution to the areas of Indian literature, religion, ethnicity and cross-cultural studies.
