Postmodern Traces and Recent Hindi Novels
Postmodernism is a notoriously elusive concept and still the object of critical debates among scholars across a range of different disciplines. In literature, in particular, these debates are complicated by “postmodern” styles emanating from outside the concept’s Western origins. By analyzing contemporary Hindi novels, and drawing on both Western and Hindi literary criticism, "Postmodern Traces and Recent Hindi Novels" aims to understand some of the manifestations of postmodernism in contemporary Hindi fiction, including ways the latter might challenge the traditional parameters of postmodern literature. This book is essential reading for scholars and students specializing in South Asian studies and both postcolonial and comparative literature. It will also interest the general reader curious to know more about one of the less explored areas of world literature.
Ret samadhi. Oltre la frontiera
Ci sono così tante cose, in Ret samadhi, come in un affresco che non si può contenere in uno sguardo. Nell’India del Nord, c’è una donna ottantenne che rifiuta la vita dopo aver perso il marito. Raggomitolata nel suo letto, aderisce al muro tanto da sembrarne una fessura. C’è il Fratello Grande, funzionario statale che festeggia la pensione con un Ultimo Pranzo dalle dimensioni epiche, e c’è il Minore, che soffre di una strana malattia: non riesce a ridere.

Ci sono i nipoti, e un nugolo di personaggi minori in continuo movimento intorno alla famiglia. Ci sono o...

The Dangerously Truthful Diary of a Sicilian Housewife
When career-girl Veronica flies to Sicily for a friend's wedding, she accidentally falls in love with one of the groom's three-hundred cousins. A year later she has given up her job, house and friends, and is planning her own wedding with her Latin Lover in the shimmering heat of Sicily.
The Sicilian Housewife Diaries: The Godmother
The journal of an Englishwoman handling parenthood, the Mafia and a Sicilian mother-in-law, all at once: 'The Godmother', the first book in the series, introduces the formidable mother-in-law and godmother to seven children who dominates family life. To understand Sicily's present you need to understand her past. The author discusses, amongst other things, the Sicilian language, the role of women in Sicily and their portrayal in modern Italian media, the immigration crisis which began in Sicily in 2012, the fact Italians sell pasta for dogs, and some of the UNESCO world heritage sites that embellish the magnificent island of Sicily. A passionate love of all things Sicilian combines with irreverent humour and a dangerously truthful way with words in this cultural and personal exploration of Sicily, past and present.
