In this study of the influence of Indian metaphysics on Lawrence Durrells novels, Professor Nambiar offers a unique milestone in the history of Durrellian criticism. Embracing Durrells search for universal awareness through Western and Indian metaphysics, the book presents a new metaphysical reading of the writers prose that has remained untapped until now. Exploring Durrells quest for a new reality through fiction, Nambiar focuses in-depth on The Avignon Quintet and questions the complex symbolic patterns that shape the polymorphous characters peregrinations through space and time. With much subtlety, modesty and wit, Indian Metaphysics in Lawrence Durrells Novels opens up the mysterious doors of the kingdom of the imagination.
