'Strategic thinking for a writer articulates itself as dislike and
as allegiance.' In this wonderfully rich and diverse collection of
essays, Amit Chaudhuri explores the way in which writers understand
and promote their own work in antithesis to writers and movements
that have gone before. Chaudhuri's criticism disproves and
questions several assumptions-that a serious and original artist
cannot think critically in a way that matters; that criticism can't
be imaginative, and creative work contain radical argumentation;
that a writer reflecting on their own position and practice cannot
be more than a testimony of their work, but open up how we think of
literary history and reading. Illuminating new ways of thinking
about Western and non-Western traditions, prejudices, and
preconceptions, Chaudhuri shows us again that he takes nothing as a
given: literary tradition, the prevalent definitions of writing and
culture; and the way the market determines the way culture and
language express themselves. He asks us to look again at what we
mean by the modern, and how it might be possible to think of the
literary today.
