Emerging from the idealistic vision of nationalistic writers in the 1930s, Indian writing in English has evolved through several distinct phases. Bruce King traces this process of evolution by examining the influence of the modern Indian poets of the 1960s and 1970s on the prose writers of a recent generation. The author takes the reader on a journey into the literary worlds of eight Indian writers in English—Arun Kolatkar, K.N. Daruwalla, Amit Chaudhuri, Pankaj Mishra, Upamanyu Chatterjee, Tabish Khair, Susan Visvanathan, and Jeet Thayil—who epitomize the thematic shifts Indian literature has undergone since Independence.
