  3. “In her magisterial book The Great Partition, Yasmin Khan offers a sobering conclusion: The Partition of 1947 is also a loud reminder, should we care to listen, of the dangers of colonial interventions and the profound difficulties that dog regime change. It stands testament to the follies of empire, which ruptures community evolution, distorts historical trajectories and forces violent state formation from societies that would otherwise have taken different—and unknowable—paths. Partition is a lasting lesson of both the dangers of imperial hubris and the reactions of extreme nationalism. For better or worse, two nations continue to live alongside each other in South Asia and continue to live with these legacies.”
    ―Caroline Elkins, "Legacy of Violence: A History of the British Empire"

  4. End of the Road:

    John Barth
    American postmodernist novelist dies aged 93

    Along with William #Gass, Stanley #Elkins and other peers, #Barth was part of a wave of writers in the 1960s who challenged standards of language and plot.

    The author of 20 books including Giles Goat-Boy and The Sot-Weed Factor, Barth was a college writing instructor who advocated for #postmodernism to literature, saying old forms were used up and new approaches were needed.

    Barth’s passion for literary theory and his innovative but complicated novels made him a writer’s writer.

    Barth said he felt like Scheherazade in The Thousand and One Nights, desperately trying to survive by creating literature.

    He created a bestseller in 1966 with 🔹Giles Goat-Boy,🔹 which turned a college campus into a microcosm of a world threatened by the cold war, and made a hero of a character who is part goat.

    The following year, he wrote a postmodern manifesto, 🔸The Literature of Exhaustion, 🔸which argued that the traditional novel suffered from a “used-upness of certain forms.”

    The influential essay described the postmodern writer as one who “confronts an intellectual dead end and employs it against itself to accomplish new human work”.
