Extreme Poetry —— The South Asian Movement of Simultaneous Narration

An astoundingly jargon-free but trenchant look at the long literary tradition of double-narratives in Sanskrit poetry--this tradition of double-narrative is so unique in world literature that my graduate students are slack-jawed with surprise when I describe even the barest outlines of it in my teaching. And until Yigal's book the tradition had not been sympathetically or critically approached by any of the hundreds of Sanskrit scholars in American, Indian or European academia. Bravo!

got this after listening to vikram chandra speaking on the topic of slesa in sanskrit. a beautiful book
