O knihe

The book 'Postcolonial Consciousness and Identity Crisis in Rushdie's Fiction' presents Rusdie's significant contribution to Indian Writing. Salman Rushdie's own identity is a case in this. His own identity as a post colonial writer has many shades. An Indian by birth but an English man by upbringing and citizenship, Salman Rushdie presents a case of diasporic identity. His contribution to Indian English Fiction gives full scope to meditate upon social scenario around which is woven most of his novels. The concepts of 'Postcolonial Consciousness' and 'Identity crisis' are issues that mark his major concerns. Rushdie's two important novels as Grimus and Midnight's Children reflect these issues prominently. Rushdie, with his regular publications continues to remain an important author whose writings about India compel the critics to assess him as an Indian English author though he is a British by his citizenship and even his upbringing. The book will consolidate the understanding of fresh researchers, academicians and literature students for further research and new outlook.
