About this book

Indian Writing in English and the Global Literary Market delves into the influences and pressures of the marketplace on this genre, which this volume contends has been both gatekeeper as well as a significant force in shaping the production and consumption of this literature.

Reviews

“This volume should be on the essential reading lists of any course on postcolonialism, cultural studies, world/minority literatures and indeed even international studies. It is a brave and laudable effort … which tackles a subject that few others have dared to confront.” (Wasafiri, Issue 85, June, 2016)

"This is a necessary book that sets out to study and counter the institutionalisation of postcolonial criticism and the mainstream prizing of some fictions from South Asia." - Tabish Khair, author of The Thing About Thugs and How to Fight Islamist Terror from the Missionary Position
