This book interrogates representations - fiction, literary motifs
and narratives - of the Partition of India. Delving into the
writings of Khushwant Singh, Balachandra Rajan, Attia Hosain,
Abdullah Hussein, Rahi Masoom Raza and Anita Desai, among many
others, it highlights the modes of 'fictive' testimony that sought
to articulate the inarticulate - the experiences of trauma and
violence, of loss and longing, and of diaspora and displacement.
The author discusses representational techniques and formal
innovations in writing across three generations of
twentieth-century writers in India and Pakistan, invoking
theoretical debates on history, memory, witnessing and trauma. With
a new afterword, the second edition of this volume draws attention
to recent developments in Partition studies and sheds new light as
regards ongoing debates about an event that still casts a shadow on
contemporary South Asian society and culture. A key text, this is
essential reading for scholars, researchers and students of
literary criticism, South Asian studies, cultural studies and
modern history.
