From New National to World English Literature offers a personal perspective on the evolution of a major cultural movement that began with decolonization, continued with the assertion of African, West Indian, Commonwealth, and other literatures, and has evolved through postcolonial to world or international English literature. Bruce King, one of the pioneers in the study of the new national literatures and still an active literary critic, discusses the personalities, writers, issues, and contexts of what he considers the most important change in culture since modernism. In this selection of forty-five essays and reviews, King discusses issues such as the emergence and aesthetics of African literature, the question of the existence of a “Nigerian literature”, the place of the new universities in decolonizing culture, the contrasting models of American and Irish literatures, and the changing nature of exile and diasporas. He emphasizes themes such as traditionalism versus modernism, the dangers of cultural assertion, and the relationships between nationalism and internationalism. Special attention is given to Nigerian, West Indian, Australian, Indian, and Pakistani literature.

Within the pages of this book lies a captivating journey that delves into the origin and development of the English novel, the realm of Indian English Writing, and the profound literary contributions of the renowned author, Chaman Nahal. Nahal's insightful work sheds light on the rift that emerged due to the insulating attitudes of the ruling class, unravelling the impact on both sides of this colonial encounter. As the narrative unfolds, the book meticulously traces the gradual encroachment of materialism within society, leading to a gradual erosion of spirituality. The multifaceted themes explored within these pages paint a vivid tapestry of human emotions and experiences. Love, affirmation, vanity, absurdity, existential questions of life and death, and the haunting memories of a traumatic partition are intricately woven into the fabric of Nahal's narrative. Through his novels, Nahal imparts a powerful message, urging readers to embrace life in its entirety. From the joyous celebrations to the tumultuous adversities, Nahal reveals that life is worth embracing, even in the face of its most challenging moments. His words resonate with an affirmative psychological orientation, guiding readers to manage their emotions in a way that fosters a sense of dignity and forges a path filled with hope. Within the pages of this exceptional book, readers will find themselves captivated by Nahal's mastery of storytelling and his ability to craft characters that resonate deeply within the human psyche. It is a book that leaves an indelible mark on the reader's soul, a testament to the enduring power of words and their ability to illuminate the depths of the human experience.

Postcolonial Satire: Indian Fiction and the Reimagining of Menippean Satire positions postcolonial South Asian satiric fiction in both the cutting-edge territory of political resistance writing and the ancient tradition of Menippean satire. Postcolonial Satire aims to disrupt the relationship between postcolonial literature and magic realism, by discussing the work of writers such as G. V. Desani, Aubrey Menen, Salman Rushdie, and Irwin Allan Sealy as one movement into the entirely subversive realm of satire. Indian fiction, and the fiction of other colonized cultures, can be re-construed through the lens of satire as openly critical of a broad spectrum of political and cultural issues. Employing the strengths of postcolonial theory and criticism, Postcolonial Satire expands upon the postcolonial works of these authors by analyzing them as satire, rather than magical realism with satirical elements.
