I am, if i might say so with full dignity and modesty, a veteran, when it comes to reading novels, purely nicking this assertion from the sheer number of books, i've read.And therefore, with time, i've grown fascinated with the differences in the writing styles of indian and foreign authors.
One chief thing that betrays the stable of an indian writer, is the fact that the language is deeply reminscent of the post-colonial literature. The metaphors and the composition of sentences, is hardly colloquial in the current scene and therefore, requires the reader t be a serious enough connossieur of novels to trul appreciate the depth and sheer intricacy of the language 'contraptions' employed.The plot takes a secondary perch and loses its eminence, in a slight measure to the beauty of the prose, the language, i mean.
The foreign writers, on the contarary attribute a lot of importance to the plot and pay a lot of reverence to the importance of hard, reasearched facts towards the development and the gradual unravelling of the story.
Indian writer, i venture, write author's stories.........
