How does one read a foundational postcolonial writer in English
with declared Indian subcontinent roots? This book looks at ways of
reading, and uncovering and recovering meanings, in postcolonial
writing in English through the works of Salman Rushdie. It uses
textual criticism and applied literary theory to resurrect the
underlying literary architecture of one of the world's most
controversial, celebrated and enigmatic authors. It sheds light
upon key aspects of Rushdie's craft and the literary influences
that contribute to his celebrated hybridity. It analyses how
Rushdie uses his exceptional mastery of European, Anglo-American,
Indian, Arabic and Persian literary and cultural forms to cultivate
a fresh register of English that expands Western literary
traditions. It also investigates an archival modernism that
characterizes the writings of Rushdie. Drawing on the hitherto
unexplored Rushdie Emory Archive, this book will be essential
reading for students of literature, especially South Asian writing,
postcolonial studies, cultural studies, linguistics and history.
