A Passage To Neem Dreams

Partly a memoir about writing Neem Dreams, partly a critical study of her own novel, themes include the creation of a novel, travels and research in India, neem as a symbol of the clash between globalisation and tradition, and the influence of EM Forster. Neem Dreams was published in India in 2003 to widespread critical acclaim. A Passage To Neem Dreams is not only for past and future readers of Neem Dreams but also those interested in representations of India, Forster and other writers about India, intellectual property rights and development issues, issues in writing fiction and contemporary writers' memoirs.
