"This collection of essays by diverse hands offers a critical appraisal of the disparate range of themes that make Vikram Seth's panoramic novel, A Suitable Boy, worth its weight and heft. It examines Seth's extensive takes on the issues of inter-faith face-off, language politics, colonial hang-over in postcolonial India, modernity and gender inequity, caste prejudices and several others in this multi-stranded Indian English Novel. The interrogation of the author's mode of narrating the nation with a variety of calling cards is consistently matched with an incisive probe into the complexity of characters and events located in the socio-cultural milieu of the early postcolonial India of nineteen-fifties. Besides, with Seth's concise literary biography and a comprehensive bibliography for those who wish to explore the text further, this anthology is a resource which the readers and researchers can't afford not to have."
