About this product

Product Information

Not only is the mainstream canon of Indian fiction in English growing at pace, so too, are more unusual, peripheral narratives. "Weird Fiction in New India" argues that it is the advent of "New India," its economic prosperity, its growing (reading) middle classes and a new sense of innovation in literary production, which has led to a proliferation of "weird" fiction." " This book investigates fiction in English, written within and published from India, since 2000. It focuses on the genres of Science Fiction and Fantasy, and also introduces the term Bharati Fantasy. In addition to insightful interviews with authors and publishers of weird fiction from India, it utilizes cultural studies theories and stylistic analyses to offer a compelling study of contemporary fiction against the socio-cultural backdrop of New India. "Weird Fiction in New India" is essential reading for scholars interested in contemporary literature, world literature in English, post-colonial studies and science fiction and fantasy.

"This insightful and timely book analyses for the first time material not seen in the West, which challenges and changes both our views of India and our view of the 'Weird'." Robert Eaglestone, Department of English, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK "Dawson's book provides an accessible and comprehensive overview of the new literary genres of post-millennial Indian fiction. The days of the saree-novels, joint family sagas, and the grand narratives of the nation in Indian fictions are over. Instead the changing milieu of the post-liberalization India has spawned a host of new English fictions that venture into hitherto untrodden grounds of Science Fictions, Fantasies, Comics and Graphic Novels--the Weird Fictions. Through extensive surveys of recent publications, interviews, and an overview of the major themes and styles in the texts, Dawson's book provides essential information and guidance to anyone interested in a fascinating world of new Indian fictions beyond the postcolonial novels."
