Spaces Of Power And Resistance: A Study Of Spatial Narratives In Adiga’s Novels

The novels of Aravind Adiga exhibit the influence of spatial narratives in modern literature while dealing with socio-political, socio-cultural and the psyche of contemporary society. Adiga blends geographical spaces, social spaces, and ideational spaces in his narrative to encounter oppression, class struggle, corruption, and moral dilemmas alongside the human condition in global discourse. Adiga uses distinctive spatial narrative in all three novels, The White Tiger, Last Man in Tower, and Selection Day, to showcase the different dynamics of this. The spatial analysis shows the transformative gloomy picture of urbanisation in Last Man in Tower and the rural-urban divide in The White Tiger.
