Abstract: An absorbing story is narrated by the child of a mixed marriage, Hindu and Muslim, in the first quarter of the twentieth century. At once creative and critical, the memoir is innovatively structured. In its ex-centricity to established forms and styles it seeks to represent substantially and formally the disjunctivity of memory, the flux of experience and everyday living, and the incertitude of meaning. Through a muddle of anecdotes, conversations and dialogues with the self, the minority subject is produced as always in process.
