Themed Issue on Recent
Indian Fiction in English
It is proposed to bring out the July, 2011 issue
of The Indian Review of World Literature in English as a themed number
on recent Indian Fiction in English. Potential contributors are
requested to confine their choice of authors to recent novelists of
Indian origin writing in English such as Salman Rushdie, Vikram Seth,
Vikram Chandra, Gita Mehta, Kiran Desai, Jhumpa Lahiri, Amitav Ghosh,
Robin Mistry and Arundhati Roy, to name only the prominent few.
However, articles on the early Indian Fiction in English with special
focus on the works of Raja Rao, Mulk Raj Anand, R.K.Narayan, Khushwant
Singh, Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai and Nayantra Sahgal will also be
considered for publication provided the articles are highly original
and project the works of the above writers from a new perspective.
Articles on Indian Poetry in English, Indian Prose in English and
Indian Drama in English will not be entertained as it is proposed to
bring out themed issues on these subjects later.

may be sent in MS Word 2003/2007 format as Email attachments to
