NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE APPLIED IN "THE SHADOW LINES'' BY AMITAV GHOSH

NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE APPLIED IN "THE SHADOW LINES'' BY AMITAV GHOSH 

     Amitav Ghosh follows the magic realism technique which explores a non-chronological presentation of events . It is remarkable how in " The Shadow Lines " Ghosh presents The multi-layered experiences of varied people in diverse chronotopes which ultimately appear to converge into a single text . As Marquez does in the " Chronicle of a Death Foretold " , Amitav Ghosh uses memory and imagination to interrogate space , time , persona , and overcome the isolability of people as well as distance between spaces and times , which appear both fluid and concrete . 

           However , the story line juxtaposes the lives of two different yet intertwined families , one Indian , one English , and uses this structure to question the boundaries between people and the geographical settings they inhabit . The story which shifts from Calcutta to London to Dhaka is told through the point of view of a contemporary Indian male , although the real luminaries of the plots are the young man's grandmother Thamma , and his cousin , Tridib . The anonymous narrator recounts in flashback the people and places Tridib had described to him 20 years before , and the heady life of modern London that signified the centre of the universe . 

         Beyond that , the novel refers to the blurred lines between nations and families as well as within one's own self-identity . Ghosh depicts the characters of the novel as caught between two worlds and the struggle to come to terms with both their present lives as well as their past , forms the inner course of the narrative . May Price , for instance , is an upper-class Anglo by birth yet also a woman keenly attuned to the conditions under which most of the world population exists - she sleeps on a mattress on the floor and fast one day a week . 

             Furthermore , "The Shadow Lines' ' is basically a memory novel that weaves together past and present , childhood and adulthood, India and East-Pakistan . Remarkably , it is also , in many ways , a Bildungsroman for training the growth and development of the narrator from childhood to maturity .

           Thus , Amitav Ghosh makes his fiction a real experience to go through. More than this , the novel can be attributed as a feature of his notable narrative technique .
