Notes:
336 p, Joseph Conrad, Jean Rhys, and Pramoedya Ananta Toer are writers renowned for crafting narratives of great technical skill that resonate with potent truths on the colonial condition. Yet given the generational and geographical boundaries that separated them, they are seldom considered in conjunction with one another. The Passage of Literature unites the three in a bracing comparative study that breaks away from traditional conceptions of modernism, going beyond temporal periodization and the entrenched Anglo-American framework that undergirds current scholarship.

Notes:
336 p., Traces a trio of interrelated modernist genealogies. English modernism as exemplified by Conrad's Malay trilogy, Indonesian modernism of Pramoedya's Buru quartet, and creole modernism of the Caribbean in Rhys's Good Morning, Midnight and Wide Sargasso Sea.
