She told Lakshmi Homstrom :
Craftsmanship is so important in writing, and you only learn it by doing it. And the short story was the perfect form to learn from, because one had to be brief. One had to be careful. And that training is still with me: I am very careful about not using any extra words... because I didn't want to overplay anything. (Holmstrom) 14

Economy is the Sine qua non of a decent short story as borne out by Deshpande's stories which are not troubled with lecturing labels. Her language is straightforward, immediate and laconic; close to speaking voice. sometimes instead of full and long sentences, she uses words circularly and negligibly.

Deshpande utilizes certain abstract gadgets to make an imaginative touch to her compositions through analogies, likenesses, similitude, and incongruity, continuous flow, inside monolog and even myth and folklore. Deshpande renders her appearance succinct, concrete and consolidated. To uncover the internal workings of the protagonists' brains and the enthusiastic swells in their souls, Deshpande utilizes allegory of 'the dim' and 'the daylight', "demise" and 'life', 'silent'. In addition, she utilizes the strategy like inside monolog or continuous flow to give the

She ever does not go for Indian translations in her works to provide an Indian flavour. She does not write for the foreign readers. She is basically Indian and writes for the Indians: My English is as we use it. I don't make it easier for anyone really. If I make any changes, it's because the novel needs it, not because the reader needs it.‘ (Holmstrom) 15

In ShashiDeshapande's compositions there is a meeting of two universes - the dialect of perusing among the urban readership and the passionate world of each day experience. My readers were people who read English, yet experienced their own and enthusiastic lives, as I did, in their own languages'(Deshpande)16.Deshpande is cognizant that there is first the issue of openness to a proficiency custom, and to dialect or dialects other than English, that is basically to make a mutual code in the middle of dialect and experience and between the author and the readers. Shashi Deshpande adheres closely to daily life experience. Her novels move in space and in addition in time, and reuse legendary legacy, through disguised convictions. She uses the’realistic ‘approach to domesticate English, she says,
“I am converting the life which is lived in different languages, a small part of it being in English as well into a Single language” (Deshpande)

    Indian Horse Analysis

    • 1186 Words

    Critics often argue that the simplicity of Indigenous literature, known as “discursive transparency”, does not allow the story to symbolize any further meaning, but Indian Horse enables the reader to find an aesthetic complexity underpinning the simplicity of its narrative. Wagamese himself points out how Indian Horse is, “written very simply, directly, and concisely” (Wagamese, UBC Speech). Through using a lyricism and creditable structure that can only be found in oral Indigenous stories, Wagamese does not impose an “established critical language”, but rather overlaps the form and content of his writing. He applies this method to subtly express the themes of the book through repetitive patterns and details of images, symbols, and phrases, throughout the story, as well as to transfer the narrative, likewise to the transforming effects of a ritual. In addition, when Saul is first placed in St. Jerome’s, Wagamese contrasts between dark and light images as a way to mark Saul’s residential school experience: “I read once that there were holes in the universe that swallow all light, all bodies.…

    Many books claim to contain the secrets of becoming a good writer. Some are written by academics, others by prize-winning writers, and it is often difficult to decide which are worth reading. In 2000, bestselling author Stephen King took his own stab at it (King’s usual subject matter forces me to use that clichéd metaphor), publishing nearly 300 pages of advice for aspiring writers under the tile On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft . King acknowledges almost immediately that “most books about writing are filled with bullshit” (page ix), yet he somehow manages to avoid that fate.…

    Introduction: Arundhati Roy, the first Indian woman writer to have won the Man Booker Prize in 1997 for her debut novel The God of Small Things, has chosen to employ language psychologically, typographically, structurally, and culturally in order to create characters and represent the Indian sensibility in all its cultural dimensions. Language is not only employed to mean the spoken or written words but also the way cultural groups understand and communicate to one another through customs and traditions in the novel. Roy has employed the language in such a way throughout the novel that helps the reader better understand complexity of characters, most importantly Estahappen and Rahel, the seven year old twins who are most affected by the…
