Annotating Salman Rushdie: Reading the Postcolonial - Literary Cultures of the Global South
Mishra, Vijay (Professor, National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bengaluru)
How does one read a foundational postcolonial writer in English with declared Indian subcontinent roots?
This book looks at ways of reading, and uncovering and recovering meanings, in postcolonial writing in English through the works of Salman Rushdie. It uses textual criticism and applied literary theory to resurrect the underlying literary architecture of one of the world?s most controversial, celebrated and enigmatic authors. It sheds light upon key aspects of Rushdie?s craft and the literary influences that contribute to his celebrated hybridity. It analyses how Rushdie uses his exceptional mastery of European, Anglo-American, Indian, Arabic and Persian literary and cultural forms to cultivate a fresh register of English that expands Western literary traditions. It also investigates an archival modernism that characterizes the writings of Rushdie.
Drawing on the hitherto unexplored Rushdie Emory Archive, this book will be essential reading for students of literature, especially South Asian writing, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, linguistics and history.
