As a poet, Critic, editor, teacher, Political commentator, he was a seminal influence of Indian Literature in English. This volume commentates, his achievements and testifies to half a century of his intellectual involvement in the literary and cultural life of Bombay and to a lesser extent of India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNissim Ezekiel Remembered has a panoramic scope. It is designed for the general reader and for students of Indian writing in English. The book begins with a wonderfully lively set of personal memoirs. Ezekiel’s great achievement as a lyricist is represented by a small selection from Collected Poems and a large sample of uncollected verse. The selected plays, point to a more nuanced, specific, observationist vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe impressive selection of prose reproduced for the first time covers a wide range of views on art, literature, politics and light, laconic odds and ends of gossip. It is opinionated in the best sense of the word and anecdotal, presenting a point of view that can be audaciously disagreeable but generally incisive and considered. The book reviews and art criticism are his greatest contribution to the cultural life of his time. They encapsulate the acute critical judgement that marked Ezekiel’s style, and the critical tenets that he established continue resonate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book concludes with an academic section which, it is hoped, will arouse the interest of a younger generation of students in Ezekiel and the India that he inhabited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNissim, lightly, and other pieces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePersonally Speaking: a series of interviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany Poems, two Plays, and a Short Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Creative Writer as Critic, and other essays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Writers and Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooks Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt and Artists\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Politics of Discontent: the Freedom First years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis and that\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Havovi Anklesaria \/ Sahitya Akademi \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153545589104,"sku":"24432","price":42.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/24432.jpg?v=1793910967","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/nissim-ezekiel-remembered","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
