Microscopic Specifics of Local Culture: An Analysis of Amit Chaudhuri’s A Strange and Sublime Address

Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The present paper analyses A Strange and Sublime Address of Amit Chaudhuri in terms of its distinct focus on cultural spaces. For that reason, the focal point of critical attention in this chapter is fixed on A Strange and Sublime Address which recounts social change through the portrayal of local cultures and sociocultural facets of life. The novel emphatically proclaims Chaudhuri’s intense interest in and commitment with the cultural places, both domestic and public. The novel, A Strange and Sublime Address, recounts the social transformations through the portrayal of local histories and socio-cultural features of life. The story is told by a ten-year old boy, Sandeep and the whole novel with its events and characters can be viewed from the view of a boy. Chaudhuri implores the world of children with their mischievousness, innocence, acute observation and mischief. He has interpreted the life, attitude and interplays of the adults and counterpoised them with those of children. The metropolis of Calcutta and Bombay alternate to give an outlook of life in them as the writer has strongly documented their cultural spirits.
