Arun Joshi’s Fiction: A Critique

Winner of the Sahitya Akademi Award for his novel The Last Labyrinth, Arun Joshi has not received the attention he deserved. In his short span of life he set a new trend in Indian English Fiction Writing. He focuses more on the human psyche as is done by Anita Desai in India. This volume examines the modern man’s restlessness and confusions, his sense of alienation and uprootedness. His quest for his roots, his identity is at the core of this study of his novels. This book will be of tremendous help to students, research scholars and teachers.
