This book entitled 'The Partitioned 'Being': Reading through Global and Postcolonial Literatures' is an attempt to make a comparative understanding of 'partition' of India in 1947 in the discursive framework of a collective existential crisis that finds its echoes from the absurdity of human existence as described in Existentialism as well as within the body of post-colonial literary writings. The book takes into account three specific authors, Frantz Kafka as representative existential thinker and Amitav Ghosh and Urvashi Butalia as the representative post-colonial authors who have set a benchmark of literary understanding of existential crisis that emanated from a event like partition.
