Description
Summary:Chapman is thoroughly conversant with the multiple facets of Roy's work: novels and short stories, works of fiction and autofiction, autobiography and reportages, and recent editions of her correspondence with other writers and translators. With the objectivity of the historian and the sensitivity to textual nuance of the literary scholar, she situates Roy's specific experiences within the broader colonial context to produce an innovative and welldocumented study of a writer between languages and cultures.
