Description
Summary:Tackling existential crevasses, Anuradha Roy’s latest novel, The Earthspinner, invites to pondering and multifaceted analysis in what we see as a plea for building metaphorical bridges in a world where the coordinates were long ago decided, where narrowed/biased following of tradition and religion undermine the coherent discourse of an identity that strives to survive the intrusion of the other. The artist and the act of creation prove once again vulnerable to the other’s inability to understand and accept.
