By:"John Clement Ball"
Published on 2003 by Psychology Press
Satire plays a prominent and often controversial role in postcolonial fictions. This study employs the insights of postcolonial comparative theories to revisit Western formulations of satire and the satiric. Through the varying lenses provided by satire's relation to irony, allegory, narrative and the grotesque, this book offers readings of important novels by V.S. Naipaul (Trinidad), Chinua Achebe (Nigeria) and Salman Rushdie (India). It presents a detailed study of the complex and multidirectional ways satire has engaged with the history and messy aftermath of empire.
