Amitav Ghosh: The Shadow Lines: A Critical Companion
Edited by Murari Prasad

This collection of thirteen essays by scholars from across the globe examines The Shadow Lines, Amitav Ghosh�s fascinating, and arguably his finest, novel from disparate points of view. Ghosh�s engaging perspective on the postcolonial South Asia as well as his innovative narrative craft has been analysed by these perceptive readers from the lens of latest critical theories. With a crisp overview of Ghosh�s concerns in the Introduction and a comprehensive bibliography (including a �webliography�), this anthology offers fresh insights into Ghosh�s novel.


Murari Prasad was until recently an associate professor of English in the Faculty of Arts in Sana�a University, Yemen. He is currently teaching in D.S. College, Katihar (Bihar). He has edited critical anthologies on Arundhati Roy (2006) and Vikram Seth�s A Suitable Boy (2005).
