- This 148-page monograph is the first to examine the complete published work and legacy of Bharati Mukherjee. The product of over a decade’s research, it examines each of this pioneering author’s eight novels, her short stories and non-fiction, recuperating many forgotten texts, from her first and last short stories to her neglected essays. Departing from existing studies of Mukherjee's writing, which repeatedly emphasise immigration versus expatriation, assimilation and feminism, it proposes a reevaluation of her oeuvre by analysing its aesthetic and ideological complexity; intertextuality, especially Mukherjee's debt to cinema; and range of formal and stylistic strategies.
