Postcolonial Satire: Indian Fiction and the Reimagining of
Menippean Satire positions postcolonial South Asian satiric fiction
at the intersection of the cutting-edge territory of political
resistance writing and the ancient tradition of Menippean satire.
Postcolonial Satire disrupts the relationship between postcolonial
literature and magic realism, by discussing the work of writers
such as G. V. Desani, Aubrey Menen, Salman Rushdie, and Irwin Allan
Sealy as one movement into the entirely subversive realm of satire.
Indian fiction, as well as the fiction of other colonized cultures,
can be re-construed through the lens of satire as openly critical
of a broad spectrum of political and cultural issues. Employing the
strengths of postcolonial theory and criticism, Postcolonial Satire
expands upon the postcolonial works of these authors by analyzing
them as satire, rather than magical realism with satirical
elements.
