In this first scholarly work on India's great modern poet, Laetitia
Zecchini outlines a story of literary modernism in India and
discusses the traditions, figures and events that inspired and
defined Arun Kolatkar. Based on an impressive range of archival and
unpublished material, this book also aims at moving lines of
accepted genealogies of modernism and 'postcolonial literature'.
Zecchini uncovers how poets of Kolatkar's generation became modern
Indian writers while tracing a lineage to medieval oral traditions.
She considers how literary bilingualism allowed Kolatkar to blur
the boundaries between Marathi and English, 'Indian' and 'Western
sources; how he used his outsider position to privilege the
quotidian and minor and revived the spirit of popular devotion.
Graphic artist, poet and songwriter, storyteller of Bombay and
world history, poet in Marathi, in English and in 'Americanese',
non-committal and deeply political, Kolatkar made lines wobble and
treasured impermanence. Steeped in world literature, in European
avant-garde poetry, American pop and folk culture, in a 'little
magazine' Bombay bohemia and a specific Marathi ethos, Kolatkar
makes for a fascinating subject to explore and explain the story of
modernism in India. This book has received support from the labex
