| Publisher Description: Included here are fifteen essays on Indian fictional writing and poetry in English. This book will throw light on the course of a critical literary debate that has focused-and continues to do so-on the pros and cons of Indians writing their novels and poems in English, along with the controversial issue of 'Indianness'. The chronologically arranged essays, written over a period of half a century, reflects Dieter Riemenschneider's growing familiarity with Indian English writing as an outside observer. They are complemented by reproductions of photographs (most of them taken by the author) and by a select bibliography of the author's publications in this field, which is considered one of the subcontinent's liveliest and most fascinating traditions.
