Reviews
"[A] comprehensive assessment of the whole of Mukherjee's oeuvre... What is unique about this well-written, detailed study is its attention to Mukherjee's less-known works of fiction and nonfiction. Scholars and students familiar with Mukherjee's work will find much to admire here. Maxey does not just assess Mukherjee's work--through close readings and nearly three decades of scholarship--she also breaks new ground, extending the ongoing conversation about this important writer's work in exciting new directions. -- ""Choice"" [A] comprehensive introduction to and critical study of a pioneering South Asian American author written in an accessible style... [A] welcome addition to the already substantial body of scholarship on Mukherjee. -- ""ariel: A Review of International English Literature"" Understanding Bharati Mukherjee offers a comprehensive analysis of the author and her oeuvre written in lucid prose accessible to all levels of readers... instructors will amass many classroom strategies from Maxey's thorough and thoughtful readings of individual texts. Understanding Bharati Mukherjee will be necessary reading for scholars studying Mukherjee, ethnic American literature, South Asian/diasporic fiction, and postcolonial literature for decades to come. -- ""South Asian Review"""
