The Contemporary Novel in English 23
India as a nation is a recent invention (founded in 1947) which possesses a millennial ancestry, Contemporary secular time, media-saturated and consumerist, co-exists with the mythic retrospect of caste and ritual. The Ministry of Utmost Happiness seeks to bridge the gap between those disparate temporalities, using a wide network of characters to bring into conjunction points of crisis in post-war India. In contrast to the customarily male-dominated narrative of the nation, Roy returns to earlier traditions of female life-writing, affective, domestic and familial to perform the 'ministry' of her title.
The course will focus on the concept of nation as narration in a specifically Indian context, and examine how the model of historical intelligibility of the European novel is adapted to different political, religious and economic circumstances.
