Everyday Horizons in Amit Chaudhuri’s A Strange and Sublime Address

Résumé

Amit Chaudhuri’s elliptical and fragmentary prose, far from revealing the familiar as a graspable and reassuring reality, manifests its elusive aspects. His first novel, A Strange and Sublime Address, seems to illustrate how chronicling the everyday through a young boy’s screened perspective can be a way of disclosing the strangeness of ordinary life. The sublime referred to in the title could be related to the unexpectedness concealed within the intimate and to its indefinable nature, but also to the constantly renewed wonder it arouses. This article traces the various strategies used by the novelist in order to highlight and explore these perceptual, intersubjective and linguistic horizons in a novel whose very structure and plot remain evasive.
