Kiran Nagarkar, contemporary Indian English writer, is an efficient personality in handling the varied range of humour. He effectively uses humour for self-analysis, manifestation or critiques on civilization, ethnicity and social customs. His humors assume different shades, tones and textures. It has always been a secretly exhilarating, pleasingly precarious, astonishingly seductive and trustworthy way to make a proclamation, to recount the stories and to make sure everyone’s voice is heard. Humour has seldom been used to correct, to restore, to define, to cope with situations, to mirror truths, to discern and to set a value on things, in Indian writing in English. Humour requires a measure of emotional disengagement. Nagarkar has used humour as a mode of survival and as an instrument to understand and empathies with human predicaments and frailties. The sincere attempt of the present research paper is to analyze the amalgamation of joviality, self-examination and humour in Kiran Nagarkar’s select fictions as a lay reader. |
