Produktbeschreibung

This study - the first of its kind - situates Rohinton Mistry's writing in its cultural and historical context. It explores key features, such as the legacy of Zoroastrianism, Parsi anglophilia, recent Indian history, and the Persian and European narrative traditions on which Mistry draws to produce his distinctive postcolonial fictions.
