- Summary:
- Contemporary Indian Writers in English (CIWE) is a series that presents critical commentaries on some of the best-known names in the genre. With the high visibility of Indian writing in English in academic, critical, pedagogic and reader circles, there is a perceivable demand for lucid yet rigorous introductions to several of its authors and genres. Raja Rao, along with RK Narayan and Mulk Raj Anand, defined Indian writing in English in the early twentieth century. His works exhibit a deep engagement with psychology, mysticism, spiritualism and philosophy. His narratives become cultural as well as individual chronicles, and very often draw implicitly or explicitly upon various aspects the freedom movement to Gandhi to myths of an Indian ethos. Letizia Alternos detailed, incisive and eminently readable introduction is a rigourous examination of the diverse, and complex, Raja Rao canon, including some of his lesser known short-fiction.
