The Crisis of Postcolonial Modernity: Queer Adolescence in Shyam Selvadurai's Funny Boy and P. Parivaraj's Shiva and Arun
Résumé
In this essay, I offer a queer reading of two works of the postcolonial canon from South Asia to ask what alternative meanings emerge when ethnic, religious, cultural and national matrices are brought to bear upon queer epistemology. Exploring the interconnections between queer adolescence, revolutions and postcoloniality, I disturb neat narratives of postcolonial modernity to suggest the reorientation of South Asian fiction as a crucial outcome of the crossings.
