Her elegant prose and compelling character development draw readers into lives and cultures that are always warmly appealing. In Suzanne Fisher Staples: The Setting Is the Story, Megan Lynn Isaac explores the award-winning novels of this unique writer." "The book is comprised of eight chapters - one exploring each of Staples's works (six novels and a memoir) and an additional chapter detailing the critical reception of her most famous books, the Pakistani trilogy (Shabanu, Haveli, and The House of Djinn). Isaac considers the predominant themes, characters, and settings of each work and provides background information about the countries, religions, art forms, and other aspects of the cultures of south Asia that are central to Staples's writing. Biographical information about Staples, both in chronological and narrative form, is also included, along with original material from Isaac's interviews with the novelist, as well as a comprehensive bibliography of scholarly material."--BOOK JACKET. 000438076 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438076 60010 $$aStaples, Suzanne Fisher$$xCriticism and interpretation. 000438076 650_0 $$aYoung adult fiction, American$$xHistory and criticism. 000438076 650_0 $$aIslam in literature. 000438076 650_0 $$aHinduism in literature. 000438076 651_0 $$aSouth Asia$$xIn literature. 000438076 651_0 $$aPakistan$$xIn literature. 000438076 651_0 $$aAfghanistan$$xIn literature. 000438076 651_0 $$aIndia$$xIn literature. 000438076 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438076 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aIsaac, Megan Lynn.$$tSuzanne Fisher Staples.$$dLanham, Md. : Scarecrow Press, 2010$$z9780810857575$$w(DLC) 2009033089$$w(OCoLC)432315132 000438076 830_0 $$aScarecrow studies in young adult literature ;$$vno. 37. 000438076 8520_ $$bacq 000438076 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438076 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=483839$$zOnline Access 000438076 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438076$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438076 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438076 980__ $$aBIB 000438076 982__ $$aEbook 000438076 983__ $$aOnline
