dc.description.abstractThis article discusses the Man Booker Prize winning novels The God of Small Things (1997) by Arundhati Roy and The Inheritance of Loss (2006) by Kiran Desai. The Booker Prize having been awarded to a number of Indian English writers over the decades, has contributed to the popularity of Indian writing in English, promoting knowledge and raising awareness on different social, cultural and linguistic concerns relating to India. However, The God of Small Things and The Inheritance of Loss, through their non-linear narrative in English also depict the effects of Westernisation and globalisation in the postcolonial Indian society. This argument leads to a discussion of the narratives, and the themes these deal with, as examples of contemporary Anglophone Indian novels written in a postcolonial framework, while also analysing the role of the publishing industry and the commodification processes related to prize winning novels.eng
