Extractions: An Interview with Bharati Mukherjee In her epilogue to Days and Nights in Calcutta , Bharati Mukherjee proclaims the spirit that motivates her writing: "Even more than other writers, I must learn to astonish, to shock" (299). Bharati Mukherjee has indeed produced a body of work that both sustains wonder and evokes surprise. The author of four novels: The Tiger's Daughter Wife Jasmine , and The Holder of the World ; two short-story collections, Darkness and The Middleman and Other Stories ; as well as The Sorrow and the Terror and Days and Nights in Calcutta , two works of non-fiction co-authored with her husband Clark Blaise, Mukherjee has deliberately, sometimes flamboyantly, fused her many impulses, backgrounds, and selves to create a "new immigrant" literature that embodies her sense of what it means to be a woman writer of Bengali-Indian origin who has lived in, and been indelibly marked by, both Canada and the United States. In the process, she has broken boundaries and refused to limit herself to easy categories. She sees herself as a pioneerof new territories, experiences, and literaturesand coextensive with her mission to explore new worlds is her intention to disturb what came before. In interviewing Professor Mukherjee for Jouvert: a journal of postcolonial studies , we utilized an interviewing strategy that negotiated the intersections of her artistic vision and the questions and concerns raised by critics in response to it. Professor Mukherjee, a writer who also prides herself on being a scholar and a critic, responded graciously to the challenges of such a conversation. Conducted during the summer of 1996, the interview addresses a constellation of questions and issues on the process of writing, reading, and interpreting fiction. Even as critical sites of possible alliance between Professor Mukherjee and the postcolonial studies community dot the surface of the interview, many of the disagreements that exist between them are cast into relief. Together, these locations map the beginnings of a productive and exciting literary cartography.

Extractions: interviewed by Ron Hogan Devi Dee, the self-rechristened protagonist of Bharati Mukherjee's latest novel, Leave It To Me , isn't happy. Abandoned by her American mother and Eurasian father in an Indian orphanage in the late '60s, she was adopted by a New York family and grew up as Debbie DiMartino. Now she's 23 and wants to track down her biological mother but the last thing on her mind is a heartwarming family reunion. Her quest leads her to San Francisco, a city that Mukherjee, who was born and raised in Calcutta but has lived in America for over thirty years, knows extremely well. Her knowledge of the city and the precarious mental and moral states of some of its inhabitants makes itself known in every tightly wound sentence of this novel, while her dark, sarcastic sense of humor manages to peep through even as the body count begins to climb. RH: What's it like to spend so much time writing about a protagonist who's basically unlikable, even reprehensible? BM: I kind of like her, actually.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fifth Edition Bharati Mukherjee is one of the best-known South Asian American woman writers. She has stated that she wants to be viewed not as a hyphenated South AsianAmerican writer but as an American writer. In a televised interview with Bill Moyers ( Bill Moyers: A World of Ideas II, New York: Doubleday, 1990) she commented, I feel very American...I knew the moment I landed as a student in 1961...that this is where I belonged. It was an instant kind of love. One wonders, however, if one can really discard a part of ones personal/political history even in the process of transformation, especially since the past displays a tenacious, trickster-like ability to appear at the oddest times and in the most astonishing disguises. The insistence on being known as an American, without acknowledging ones Asian heritage, may grate on those who see the term American as denoting the Euro -American socio-politically dominant group only. For those of us who feel that it is absolutely necessary to continue emphasizing our essentially non-European, American identities until we are truly acknowledged as Americans with our own distinctive American presence, Mukherjees stance may seem simplistic. Yet, as many of her stories show she is neither ignorant of nor insensitive to racism and oppression in the United States. In the interview with Moyers, she also said that Multiculturalism, in a sense, is well intentioned, but it ends up marginalizing the person.

Extractions: Number 34-35 (1993) Edited by Vijay Mishra Runar Vignisson I was wondering if we could just start by your telling us a little bit about yourself, however you want to start. Bharati Mukherjee I was born in Calcutta, in the Eastern part of India, in 1940 into a wealthy traditional family. When I was growing up I lived in an extended family so that there were 40, 45 people living in the house at the same time. There was absolutely no sense of privacy, every room felt crowded. In fact in the traditional Bengali Hindu family of my kind to want privacy was to be selfish. That was why I was so entranced by the idea of Iceland having little population and lots of space. RV Yes, its very hard, coming from Iceland, to imagine that situation because, you know, there are two people per square kilometre in Iceland. So that's very interesting. BM RV Oh really?

Roopa is a mother of a four year old daughter and she takes initiative in volunteering with play groups for children of her daughter's age group. Jasmine - Identity In Exile Jermone Beaty and Paul Hunter in their book, New Worlds of Literature , say Thinking of home is often accompanied by nostalgia the absence or loss of loved ones, the remoteness of the home place we are cut off from our childhood home are Exiles. And the rest of us can perhaps understand, that we are all "exiles" from our past, our childhood, that universal "home" (1) The state of exile, a sense of loss, the pain of separation and disorientation makes Bharati Mukherjees novel "Jasmine" a quest for identity in an alien land. Jasmine, the protagonist of the novel, undergoes several transformations during her journey of life in America, from Jyoti to Jasmine to Jane, and often experiences a deep sense of estrangement resulting in a fluid state of identity. This journey becomes a tale of moral courage, a search for self-awareness and self-assertion. Uprooted from her native land India, Jyoti does her best to introduce herself into the new and alien society as an "immigrant"; the culmination finally indicated in Jasmines pregnancy with the child of a white man - Bud.

Extractions: Roshni Rustomji-Kerns It is important to read and discuss Mukherjee's "A Wife's Story" as an integral part of twentieth-century American literature and not as an "exotic" short story by a foreign writer. As the essay accompanying "A Wife's Story" points out, Mukherjee identifies herself very strongly as an American writer writing about twentieth-century Americans. Although most of her stories are about South Asian-Americans (South Asia in the contemporary geopolitical arena usually consists of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldive Islands), she sees herself as being primarily influenced by, as well as being part of, the tradition of Euro-American writers. In a brief interview published in the November, 1993 issue of San Francisco Focus in which she discusses her novel, The Holder of the World (published in 1993 after the publication of the second edition of The Heath Anthology ), she says, "I think of myself as an American writer . . . I want to focus on the making of the American mind." But instead of an exploration of the making of the American mind

Extractions: Clark Blaise is the child of expatriate Canadians (father French-Canadian, mother English-Canadian) who roamed the United States in search of better employment. Blaise has written, "As a native-born American with foreign parents, and as a child who attended an average of two schools a year in 25 different cities, I grew up with an outsider's view of America and a romanticized exile's view of French Canada. . .My interest is in 'tribalism' on the American continent, and in all groups who refuse amalgamation and prefer codes and taboos of their." Blaise's rootlessness is linked, in part, to his family's economic distress. Mukherjee's, by contrast, is linked to her family's relative affluence. Born in India, and daughter of a successful businessman, Mukherjee was sent to boarding schools in both Switzerland and Britain, and subsequently attended a school in India run by Irish nuns. Her teachers encouraged her to abandon her Indian heritage in favor of European culture. At age 21, she left India to attend the world-renowned Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she met Blaise, her future husband.

She lived in a house crowded with 40 or 50 relatives until she was eight, when her father's career brought the family to live in London for several years. After getting her B.A. from the University of Calcutta in 1959 and her M.A. in English and Ancient Indian Culture from the University of Baroda in 1961, she traveled to the United States for the first time. As she describes it: I flew into a small airport surrounded by cornfields and pastures, ready to carry out the two commands my father had written out for me the night before I left Calcutta: Spend two years studying creative writing at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, then come back home and marry the bridegroom he selected for me from our caste and class. Mukherjee found herself changed by her experience at the University of Iowa, her first coeducational experience. She fell in love with Canadian writer Clark Blaise, a fellow student, and married him impulsively during her lunch break after only two weeks of courtship. Any plans to return to India after finishing school were rewritten in that moment.

The Game From Mark Flanagan Born in Calcutta, India into a wealthy family, Mukherjee was given the chance to receive a university education at home, which she continued in the United States and in Canada. It was there that she met Canadian writer Clark Blaise. The couple have been married since 1963, and they have two sons. Mukherjee's stories revolve around the culture clash experienced by Indians who have emigrated to North America but still have difficulty acculturating. For example, in "A Father" (from her 1985 collection Darkness), a religious Hindu's hopes for a harmonious family life are shattered when he learns that his grown-up but still single daughter has had artificial insemination because she wants a baby but rejects men. In "The Lady from Lucknow" (in the same volume), the bored wife of an Indian academic adapts to the American way of life by committing adultery with an unexciting middle-aged WASP.
