- Synopsis
- South Asian culture has become highly popular around the world. Films like Monsoon Wedding and Lagaan have reached large audiences. The world of Indian popular films is the subject of a London musical called Bombay Dreams, and young women from New York to Los Angeles are having their hands decorated with intricate traditional henna designs. South Asia is now chic in the West in the way that Japan was a decade ago. But preceding and expanding beyond these pop-culture influences is a profound and ever-growing international appetite for fiction by South Asian authors. Names like Rushdie, Mukherjee, and Roy are familiar to anyone with a passing interest in contemporary writing, appearing frequently as they do on bestseller lists and winning prestigious awards. This volume will assist readers who want to begin to explore the rich, varied, and fascinating worlds of modern South Asian fiction.
