About the Book

Indian English fiction writers have often displayed a keen interest in portraying Indian bureaucrats in their novels or shorter fiction because this serves as a valid pretext for sharpening the readers’ perspectives on the condition of the Indian state. Though the political slant in such novels is inevitable the writers take care to help us understand the finer nuances of human behaviour while confronting state power. However, very few Indian English novels have focused on the induction of young candidates into the administrative system. In other words, civil service aspirants stepping over the threshold to cross into the realms of hardcore bureaucracy have rarely been treated as a fit enough subject for a novel. This transitional phase or the ‘rite of passage’ has been sensitively portrayed in the novel The Shadows of June. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dr. Rita Nath Keshari is Head of the Dept. of English, Arignar Anna Govt. Arts College, Karaikal. She did her Ph.D. in English from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Her published books are The Transplanted Wife (a collection of short stories), 2005; Glimpses of Pondicherry (co-authored with P. Raja), 2005; The Post-colonial Encounter: India In the British Imagination, 2006; Busy Bee Book of Contemporary Indian English Poetry (co-edited with P. Raja), 2007; Anguish and After (a collection of poems), 2008 and A Cultural History of Pondicherry (serialized in the journal Sri Aurobindo’s Action). She has also contributed a large number of articles and various other write-ups. Her writings have been broadcast several times over All India Radio, Pondicherry.
