Anita Desai: The Novelist Par Excellence

Anita Desai is undoubtedly one of the most powerful Indian novelists in English. She is more concerned with the inner realities, the psychic cries and conflicts than the social, political and cultural scenario of the nation. Her primary objective in her novels is to dive deep into the inaccessible and unfathomable world of the mind of the characters, particularly the women characters and to dig out the real self which is always hidden beneath the surface.
