      abstract = {Everyday life in the far outposts of empire can be static,  empty of the excitement of progress. A pervading sense of  banality and boredom are, therefore, common elements of the  daily experience for people living on the colonial  periphery. Saikat Majumdar suggests that this impoverished  affective experience of colonial modernity significantly  shapes the innovative aesthetics of modernist fiction.  Prose of the World explores the global life of this  narrative aesthetic, from late-colonial modernism to the  present day.},
