About The Book

Talking metaphorically or obliquely is generally held to be natural with Indians. Indian writers in English are primarily concerned with reality as experienced in India – that is perhaps their major preoccupation. The author has collected and categorized here different types of similes and metaphors mainly from Indo-English fiction. A brief note on imagery in Indo-English poetry has been added. In the past few years there has been an upsurge of interest in Indo-English writing. However, no full-length study on imagery has yet appeared. For these writers imagery has been an important vehicle of perception.
