Iconic Identities: A Critical Response to Select Indian Autobiographies in English  (Paperback, Satyajit Patil)

Among all forms of self-expression, autobiography can be read and studied as a telling record of the narrator’s evolution of identity and his/her ongoing quest for the attainment of identity. The present book, therefore, is an attempt to study four representative autobiographies— The Crusade, Wings of Fire, Romancing with Life and My Country My Life— in the light of the notion of identity in general and cultural identity in particular. It also tries to reread a few other milestones in the domain of autobiographical writing.
