Kritik
"This volume eloquently delineates the polyvalent cultural imaginaries of South Asian fiction in English. Scrutinizing the multidimensional ramifications of the region's contemporary transformations via an eclectic range of national, transregional and cross-border concerns, it crucially expands the disciplinary boundaries of postcolonial studies and world literature." (Esha Sil, Journal of Postcolonial Writing, July, 2017)
"The volume offers genuinely new perspectives on writers, texts and regions that have tended to be overlooked in academic criticism. ... This is a timely volume, in fact, which makes an important contribution to the field of South Asian literary studies." (Wasafiri, Vol. 33 (3), September, 2018)mehr
