The Volume surveys the astonishing flowering of Indian Writing in English during the last two decades. After a brief but trenchant analysis of the milieu, it examines the literary productions in the genres of fiction poetry, drama and non-fictional prose. The range of this study is comprehensive, almost encyclopeaedic, the style lively an jargon-free, and the critical enquiry perceptive and succinct, followed by an exhaustive bibliography of secondary sources.
