SynopsisStaking a claim for herself as an Ellis Island writer, Bharati Mukherjee can be seen as part of the Indian literary diaspora or as an Asian-American author. As one of a new generation of Indian writers who have chosen to settle in the West and write in the English language, Mukherjee is in the company of Salman Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, and Vikram Seth. In this study of the Mukherjee canon, Fakrul Alam discusses her four novels (The Tiger's Daughter, Wife, Jasmine, and Holder of the World), two story collections (Darkness and The Middleman), and various nonfiction (especially the volumes Days and Nights in Calcutta and The Sorrow and the Terror), identifying how the author's initial perspective as an exile and her view toward her migrant self have evolved with each subsequent work.
