INTRODUCTION Heard of the mother-daughter duo- Anita Desai and Kiran Desai? The extremely talented women boast numerous awards and nominations in their literary pool. Now, an introduction to Anita Desai can be read from Wikipedia. A summary of 'Voices In The City' from here. Maharshi Dayanand University's Directorate of Distance Education has a full- length booklet on Indian Writing in English. In the content, you will find UNIT FOUR under SECTION B assigned to Anita Desai's Voices in the City. WHY DO WE NEED TO LOOK FURTHER? An introduction and a summary won't help in looking at the novel from a 360-degree perspective. Also, there is a dearth of critical perspective and less matter on Indian Writing in English online. But there are several journals that attempt a study of the novel from various lenses.
