Mondal’s writings highlight the unique lived experiences of the inhabitants of the Sundarbans and are meditative explorations of the links between caste and expression, nature and human life, and the ‘centre’ and the ‘margin’. This book creates a dialogue between the body of literature that is visible and that which is not, as well as between biography and literature. Mondal’s own views on contemporary life, society, and literature—both mainstream and marginalized—will help readers understand the relationship between literature and its social context. The volume creates an academic framework within which Mondal’s fiction can be read, appreciated and critically analysed.
Part of the Voices from the Margins series, this critical edition will be an important resource for students of literature, comparative literature, modern Indian literature, translation studies, minority studies, Dalit studies, and gender studies. It will also be of interest to those engaged in contemporary Indian/ South Asian literary cultures, social sciences, history, and sociology.
