“Adam and Ulysses are people
“Adam and Ulysses are people that many of us grew up
with as are the fairies and elves from British folklore thanks to
Western writers and film-makers dabbling in Greek and Roman
mythology, Biblical stories and myths and folklore to capture the
imagination of modern readers and audiences. And in India too,
vernacular writers have turned to our very own epics, history and
mythology to recreate them as popular writing. Now, it’s the turn of
Indian writers writing in English, who have already made their
presence felt in world literature, to take our epics global to
readers of fiction. Ashok K. Banker’s Ramayana is a journey in that
direction.” Economic Times
