Amitav Ghosh: Transfiguration of Memory and Imagination in the Shadow Lines

S. Kokila

Abstract :

This article will expose the layers in the writing by probing it from a narrative point of view to expose how memories appear in strata, and how different voices are juxtaposed. As memory provides the narrative trigger in this novel, I analyse Ghosh’s mnemonic enterprise as part of his narrative management .It will also analyze other forms of textual stratification by showing the connection between space and individual memory and collective history, the novel depicts how nationalism invades private lives and how political histories shape personal memories.
