Intimate Class Acts: Friendship and Desire in Indian and Pakistani Women’s Fiction

Maryam Mirza (BeIPD-COFUND postdoctoral research fellow, BeIPD-COFUND postdoctoral research fellow, University of Liege, Belgium)

In this scholarly work, Maryam Mirza examines ten novels in English by women writers from the Indian subcontinent. She explores the role of power and desire, and of emotional and physical intimacy in cross-class relations. Striking similarities in how gendered and classed identities are lived in India and Pakistan are revealed in this book.
