	Rohinton Mistry : An Introduction by Nandini Bhautoo-Dewnarain
	Price : Rs 295.00
	Your Price : Rs 241.90

Rohinton Mistry has provided some of the most sustained explorations of post-Independence Indian society through his chronicles of individual and community lives. Mistry`s fiction covers many themes, from politics to Parsi community life and economic inequality to national `events` such as wars, rigorously examining the impact of historical forces and social events on `small` lives. Nandini Bhautoo-Dewnarain`s study, a schematic introduction to Mistry`s works, looks at the process of marginalization or `Othering` in his fiction. Exploring Mistry`s themes of tradition, ageing and families, Bhautoo-Dewnarain demonstrates how his fiction moves from the local to the universal.
