Book Description
श्रीकांत वर्मा पुरस्कार' और 'साहित्य अकादेमी पुरस्कार' से सम्मानित यह उपन्यास अलका सरावगी की पहली औपन्यासिक रचना थी। इस उपन्यास ने न सिर्फ उन्हें हिन्दी साहित्य-जगत का सितारा लेखक बना दिया बल्कि अब तक चली आ रही उपन्यास-परम्परा को भी एक नया मोड़ दिया। इसने कथा-लेखन की एक ठहरी और इकहरी शैली से ऊबे हिन्दी पाठक को एक ऐसी भाषा और कहन दी जिससे उसने अचानक अपने को समृद्ध अनुभव किया। एक मारवाड़ी परिवार की कई पीढ़ियों की दास्तान कहनेवाला यह उपन्यास शायद भाषा में उस दृष्टि को पिरोनेवाला पहला उपन्यास था जिसने नब्बे के दशक में देश में उदारीकरण के बाद जन्म लिया था। आजाद भारत में निर्मित सामाजिकता के प्रचलित पैमानों पर जीते मनुष्य की भीतरी अजनबीयत की पहचान से शुरू होती यह कथा अंग्रेजों द्वारा भारत में रेलवे लाने के शुरुआती दिनों से लेकर सन् 2000 तक के इतिहास का अवलोकन करती है। इसमें कोलकाता शहर का इतिहास भी पढ़ा जा सकता है, और मोटा-मोटी ढंग से भारत में सामाजिक-नैतिक मूल्यों के निर्माण और ध्वंस का भी। कहानी किशोर बाबू की है जो अपनी बाइपास सर्जरी के बाद दुनिया को बिलकुल ही अलग सिरे से देखने लगते हैं, वे किशोर बाबू जो जीवन-भर दक्षिणी कोलकाता के अभिजात समाज का हिस्सा रहे अचानक 'सड़कमापÓ बन जाते हैं, कोलकाता की अभद्र सड़कों पर भटकते दिखने लगते हैं और अपनी इसी यात्रा में अपने परिवार के पुरखों से लेकर अपनी तीन वर्षीय नातिन तक के समय को खंगाल देते हैं।

Book Description
The Tale Retold is as much about story-telling as it is about finding stories in situations where they may not easily be found. The title story examines with great sympathy the equations between a mother who feels helpless and hopeful in turns, a child who slowly comes to terms with his disability and a society which values soundness above all and makes no space for the differently abled. In Quest of a Story follows a middle-aged, retired man on his obsessive pursuit of a writer in the hope that he will become a subject of her narrative. A mother writes A Letter to Mrs D Souza, the principal of her daughter s school, in which she tries to negotiate some space for herself in a society where anything less than complete devotion to one s children is construed as culpable neglect. Alka Saraogi understands the undercurrents of the human mind and engages easily with the inner worlds of her characters. Her ability to look for the extraordinary within the ordinary and to elegantly shatter seemingly permanent stereotypes makes The Tale Retold an unforgettable collection.

Book Description
This book explores the gendered contexts of the Indian nation through a rigorous analysis of selected women’s fiction ranging from diverse linguistic, geographical, caste, class, and regional contexts. Indian women’s writing across languages, texts, and contexts constitutes a unique narrative of the post-independence nation. This volume highlights the ways in which women writers negotiate the patriarchal biases embedded in the epistemological and institutional structures of the post-independence nation-state. It discusses works of famous Indian authors like Amrita Pritam, Jyotirmoyee Devi, Mannu Bhandari, Mahasweta Devi, Mridula Garg, Nayantara Sahgal, Indira Goswami, and Alka Saraogi, to name a few, and facilitates a pan-Indian understanding of the concerns taken up by these women writers. In doing so, it shows how ideas travel across regions and contribute towards building a thematic critique of the oppressive structures that breed the unequal relations between the margins and the centre. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, women’s studies, South Asian literature, political sociology, and political studies.
