The romantic relationship between Sai, an upper-class Gujarati girl, and Gyan, a lower-middle-class Nepali boy, crosses both class and ethnic boundaries. The marriage between Ram, an aristocratic Hindu, and Rose, a working-class Englishwoman, transgresses racial and class lines while also reinforcing patriarchal hierarchies. These relationships in Ice-Candy-Man, The Inheritance of Loss, and Rich Like Us reveal striking similarities in how gendered and classed identities are lived in India and Pakistan. Maryam Mirza examines ten novels in English by women writers from the Indian subcontinent. She explores the role of power and desire, and of emotional and physical intimacy in cross-class relations. Among others, Mirza examines well-known novels such as Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things and Kamila Shamsie's Salt and Saffron, and works that have hitherto drawn limited critical attention, such as Moni Mohsin's The End of Innocence and Brinda Charry's The Hottest Day of the Year."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Pakistani fiction (English) $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Pakistani fiction (English) $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Pakistani fiction (English) $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Friendship in literature. 650 0 $a Desire in literature. 650 7 $a Englisch $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 650 7 $a Freundschaft $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4129887-1 650 7 $a Frauenroman $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4134195-8 650 7 $a Soziale Klasse $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4315466-9 650 7 $a Begierde $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4207376-5 650 7 $a Klassengesellschaft $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4522350-6 651 7 $a Indien $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4026722-2 651 7 $a Pakistan $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4075812-6 650 7 $a Desire in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891364 650 7 $a Friendship in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935203 650 7 $a Indic fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970135 650 7 $a Indic fiction (English) $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970138 650 7 $a Pakistani fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01741185 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019023546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6213EEAE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
