References. Index. Reading India Now is an effort to outline what literary criticism might look like when it becomes attuned to the everyday lives that people live in India outside the shadow of history. Do the routines of a place simply constitute the backdrop against which important historical events play out, or might they also be important on their own terms? Why is the unspectacular, every day present so often overlooked as a significant realm of experience for the study of India? Is this an issue particular to places like India? This book foregrounds a time that is everywhere but virtually invisible-a time that is the Indian contemporary. Reading for the contemporary begins by recognizing the political and cultural contradictions of contemporary India: increasing communalization, wealth inequality, and consumerism but also new alternative cultures, queer spaces, publishing venues, readerships and future imaginaries. These contradictions are productive of the present. The contemporary offers us new and at times problematic formations; it is where the high and low meet, where conventional generic and formal categories break down, and where the sanctified literary dissolves. …

Hardback. Zustand: New. In an age of social media and reality television, reading and consumption habits in India now demand homegrown pulp fictions. Ulka Anjaria categorizes post-2000 Indian literature and popular culture as constituting "the contemporary," a movement defined by new and experimental forms-where high- and low-brow meet, and genres break down. Reading India Now studies the implications of this developing trend as both the right-wing resurges and marginalized voices find expression. Anjaria explores the fiction of Chetan Bhagat and Anuja Chauhan as well as Aamir Khan's television talk show, Satyamev Jayate, plus the work of documentarian Paromita Vohra, to argue how different kinds of texts are involved in imagining new political futures for an India in transition. Contemporary literature and popular culture in India might seem artless and capitalistic, but it is precisely its openness to the world outside that allows these new works to offer significant insight into the experiences and sensibilities of contemporary India.…
