How does a writer discuss her creative process and her views on a
writer's role in society? How do her comments on writing relate to
her works? The Hindi writer Krishna Sobti (1925-2019) is known
primarily as a novelist. However, she also extensively wrote about
her views on the creative process, the figure of the writer,
historical writing, and the position of writers within the public
sphere. This study is the first to examine in detail the
relationship between Sobti's views on poetics as exposed in her
non-fictional texts and her own literary practice. The writer's
self-representation is analysed through her use of metaphors to
explain her creative process. Sobti's construction of the figure of
the writer is then put in parallel with her idiosyncratic use of
language as a representation of the heterogeneous voices of her
characters and with her conception of literature as a space where
time and memory can be "held." At the same time, by delving into
Sobti's position in the debate around "women's writing" (especially
through the creation of a male double, the failed writer Hashmat),
and into her views on literature and politics, this book also
reflects on the literary debates of the post-Independence Hindi
literary sphere.
