In this study of the influence of Indian metaphysics on Lawrence Durrellâ (TM)s novels, Professor Nambiar offers a unique milestone in the history of Durrellian criticism. Embracing Durrellâ (TM)s search for universal awareness through Western and Indian metaphysics, the book presents a new metaphysical reading of the writerâ (TM)s prose that has remained untapped until now. Exploring Durrellâ (TM)s 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 charactersâ (TM) peregrinations through space and time. With much subtlety, modesty and wit, Indian Metaphysics in Lawrence Durrellâ (TM)s Novels opens up the mysterious doors of â oethe kingdom of the imaginationâ .
