Bharati Mukherjee: Critical Perspectives in Bloomington, MN

The twelve essays that form this book, first published in 1993, interpret
Bharati Mukherjee’s
oeuvre from a variety of critical perspectives. The authors’ approaches range from the biographical to the poststructuralist, from cultural analysis to comparative commentary to deconstructive reading. Such diversity in the contributors’ theoretical stances and interpretive strategies enables this collection of essays to serve a key purpose: to offer not only multiple but conflicting perspectives on Mukherjee’s art and achievement.
