Reviews

India is famously multilingual, but no one has studied the subcontinent’s interactions – through translingual writing, code-switching, translations, and “transcreations” – with French with the depth, passion, and insight that Sheela Mahadevan brings to bear in this fresh and welcome contribution to the study of literary multilingualism. * Steven G. Kellman, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Texas at San Antonio, USA * I welcome this useful book which opens up the under-researched field of Indian Francophone writing, showing the importance of translation in Indian literary traditions. * Susan Bassnett, Professor of Comparative Literature, University of Glasgow, UK * A work that offers a compelling narrative of the literary presence of the French language in India. Sheela Mahadevan offers a highly original and informed reading of a much-neglected topic and radically challenges conventional understandings of literary multilingualism and translation in the Indian context. Writing Between Languages is essential reading for students of comparative literature, translation studies, intercultural studies, and indeed for anyone who is concerned about the fate of languages and cultural diversity in our globalized world. * Michael Cronin, Professor of French, Trinity College Dublin *
