The book introduces the contemporary debates comprising the vast aspects of Shashi Deshpande’s Fiction. Though Shashi Deshpande always lebelled as feminist writer scholars have brilliantly argued to prove the merit of her fictional world. Her works explored with focus on postcolonial theory, modern criticism, feminish, human relations, quest for identity and variety of other themes. Shashi Deshpande is the critically acclaimed writer of nine novels, a number of short stories, children’s books and essays. Trained as a journalist, Deshpande’s work focuses on the reality and truth of the lives of Indian women. She received the Padma Sri award in 2009. Shashi Deshpande is of the view that in calling her novels feminist, one straitjackets the works; imprisons them with the label. She feels that while she is feminist, her novels are novels. She hasn’t written the novels as a debating voice, to develop a thesis in a debate. She feels her novels are open examinations of the experiences of people in specific setting. Shashi’s writings are complex but seamlessly woven narratives which explore the lives of people, especially women. Unconsciously her writing is informed by feminism, which she finds a source of strength, though unfortunately this sometimes results in her work being slotted into this one category. The present anthology consists 22 well researched articles throwing flood light on variety of aspects.
The present book will prove an ideal reference book to students, researchers and teachers of Indian Writing in English in general and Shashi Deshpande in particular.
