Reviews

“This anthology in honour of Professor Narang is a storehouse of literary assertions. Neatly divided into nine sections, it is perhaps based largely on the areas of interest and expertise of Professor Narang himself. Within the ambit of Language, Literature, Culture and Cinema, added to which are the writing of Professor Narang and his interview, the book is indeed multidimensional in its scope and encompasses most of the debates in contemporary literature. This book will be invaluable for not only research scholars of Language, Literature, Culture and Cinema but also for lay readers who wish to familiarise themselves with these issues. After having read the essays in this volume, one can appreciate the vast range of subjects they deal with.” — Manpreet Kaur Kang, Secretary, MELOW (The Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literatures of the World), India.
