Shashi Deshpande

I just finished reading Deshpande's 'A Matter of Time' and really enjoyed her writing style. She kept me engaged in the novel until the ending through the use of some very creative techniques - such as speaking to the readers directly in some portions of the novel. Thus, I am opening this thread for others who have read any of Deshpande's works (or 'A Matter of Time') and would like to offer their commentary/opinions/recommendation (of her other works). We can discuss the plot/characters/meaning/use of imagery or symbols in 'A Matter of Time.'

I am making a stylistic study of Shashi Deshpande's "That Long Silence". It is very interesting to note her style which has more inclination towards psychological aspects. Friends! pass on your views.
regards to all research scholars

HI. I'VE READ 'THE BINDING VINE' BY S.D. SHE'S AN AMAZING AUTHOR. HERE SHE HIGHLIGHTS VARIOUS ISSUES THAT A WOMAN OF PRE-INDEPENDENCE ERA AS WELL AS THAT OF CONTEMPORARY ERA WOULD FACE; HOW SHE IS MERELY REGARDED AS A SEX OBJECT. SHE HAS ELABORATED INTRINSIC AND METICULOUS DETAILS OF A WOMAN'S LIFE AND DIFFERENT ATTITUDES THAT DIFFERENT WOMEN HAVE TOWARDS THEM-SOME USE AVOIDANCE MECHANISMS WHEREAS SOME USE APPROACH MECHANISMS.ALSO HOW A MOTHER DEALS WITH A DAUGHTER'S DEATH. A MUST READ FOR ALL THOSE WORKING ON S.D.

V.Deepa,
You may be the 50th per peson who are doing research on Shashi Deshpande apart from 10-12 who have already done research on her fiction.While delievering a lecture in SCLIT in Madurai S.D informed that 37 research scholars are doing researcs on her fiction.You may opt for any topic other than than feminism,man-women relationship,mother-daughter relationship.Give a thought to compare her with a new writer like Sunetra Gupta .
From: mala renganathan (@ nehu.ac.in) on: Thu Nov 25 05:20:14

All materials on S.D are available at SCILET, Madurai (Study Centre for Indian Literature in English and Translation. Opt for yearly membership of SCILET and you can get photocopies of the materials.
