Reading list

July 4, 2002 by Meena Kandasamy

I am too sleepy to write anything coherent. So here I am listing out the books I am currently reading. Will come back to ya later real soon.

Interrogating Caste by Dipanker Gupta
Hinduism and the Religious Arts by Heather Elgood
Modern Indian Poetry in English: a Writer’s Workshop Publication
The Poetry of the Negro (an anthology)
Butler English: Form and Function
A South Indian Subcaste by Louis Dumont
Homo Hierarchus by Louis Dumont
Poems of Love and War by A.K. Ramanujam
Tradition and Liberation by Catherine A. Robinson
Women’s Writing edited by Maria Monteith
No Full Stops in India by Mark Tully

Now, you know why I am busy…. Well, the poetry volumes are for leisure. But the rest (and that is what I am really reading) are for research… Some books are due too..
I swear dears, my life is really getting hectic.
