Deadline: 30 March 2013
The juried journal of the South Asian Literary Association, invites submissions for its 2013 Special Topic Issue, Volume 34, Number 1, devoted to Salman Rushdie’s literary career, thought, and artistry. Born in the year of India’s Independence, and now arrived at 65, Rushdie has recently published his long-awaited account of missing years, Joseph Anton: A Memoir. The title Joseph (Conrad) Anton (Chekov) offers some clues to the literary masters of his soul. It seems we have arrived at the appropriate moment to take stock of Salman Rushdie’s literary status and unique achievement.
The special issue devoted to his work in many genres aims at a summative assessment of Rushdie’s achievement as a story-writer, fabulator, allegorist, myth-maker, and political commentator on post-national societies. The articles invited may limit themselves exclusively to a single genre of Rushdie’s writing, a group of works, or a combination of forms. Since his travel writing and essays have escaped critical attention, the journal welcomes articles on such works as well. Suggested topics of interest may include:
