About the Book:
This anthology, edited by Malashri Lal and Deepa Agarwal, is a pioneering work in Indian fantasy literature. It compiles papers presented at a national seminar organized by Sahitya Akademi on the theme, “Fantasy, Science Fiction and Other Forms of the Marvellous in Indian Literature”. The collection explores how the ‘marvelous’ in Indian writing serves multiple roles—entertaining readers, conveying social messages, reflecting conservative and radical politics, and challenging stereotypes with subtle irony.
From the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata to Pabuji’s tales, from Kathasaritsagara to the works of Intizar Husain, and from Buddhist Jataka tales to Devakinandan Khatri’s Chandrakanta, the anthology highlights parallels and contrasts in Indian fantasy writing across ages.
