![]() It is true that, like Ritwik, Miss Gilby is an outsider in her narrative. Despite the novel switching between these stories with each new chapter, there is not much in Miss Gilby’s story that informs or gives some new perspective to our understanding Ritwik. Ritwik’s journey is punctuated by the tale of Miss Gilby, a story that Ritwik is writing. A Life Apart is a complex and thrilling bildungsroman that grapples with how to retain (and shape) one’s identity while living on the fringe of society. Mukherjee’s central accomplishment in this novel is how he injects personal agency into the narrative of multiculturalism. After separating himself from his past life in India, blotted with a history of child abuse, Ritwik’s student days in Oxford further his alienation and prevent his integration into British society. Ritwik’s status as outsider is repeatedly affirmed throughout the novel. Neel Mukherjee’s A Life Apart presents the journey of Ritwik Ghosh, from his embittered childhood in Calcutta to his new life among the marginalized of England. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you can’t find the resource you need here, visit our contact page to get in touch.Įstablished in 1962, the MIT Press is one of the largest and most distinguished university presses in the world and a leading publisher of books and journals at the intersection of science, technology, art, social science, and design.

When asked to name an archetypal love story, most people will reply 'Romeo & Juliet', although some say 'Tristan & Isolde' instead. ![]() ![]() ![]() To others, she’s a threat to be eliminated.
