Recenzii
"This is a book about grieving. How does one grieve in the West? In the academy, for that matter? In this beautifully conceptualized book, Sen identifies moments in postcolonial writing that seem to gesture towards ways of articulating the mystical in language. Her close readings are superb." - Anushiya Ramaswamy, Professor of English, Southern Illinois University, USA
