DESCRIPTION
Gendered Realities, Human Spaces: the Writing of Shashi Deshpande works through a close reading of her fiction, her non-fiction and interviews in order to interrogate the strengths and limits of 'feminist' positions. It goes on to free Deshpande's work from a reading confined only to the woman question and opens it out to aesthetic evaluations and sociocultural histories.
