https://www.ijtsrd.com/other-scientific-research-area/literature/49777/literary-acumen-of-anita-desai-as-a-novelist/dr-jyoti-sharma The Padma Bhushan Awardee novelist Anita Desai is known for her sensitive portrayals of female characters and the delineation of the middle class women in India. Though the concept of feminism does not find favour with her, women in her novels are either the central characters themselves or at least of equal importance with the male characters. Her characters are seen to be lonely individuals, refusing to accept the available value system, shrinking themselves to a world of their own illusions, comfortable assumptions and beliefs. By adopting the method of peeping into the inner tensions and turmoil of the psyche of her characters, she tries to explore their difficulties and problems and alienated individual caught in the crisis of a changing society. The present paper is a humble attempt to give general introduction to Anita Desai’s major novels and discusses some of her conspicuous characteristics as a novelist.
