Concerning issues raised in the book

edit

At this moment the citation is needed for the words „[this novel] raises issues of individuality and the possibility of hybridity in a world moving toward singularity“. Maybe someone find the following information helpful: the book itself contains following words (as told by narrator Moraes): the tragedy of multiplicity destroyed by singularity, the defeat of Many by One (Part IV, p. 408 in 1994 Vintage paperback edition). Although nowhere it is said that these words are the most important in the book, I think it is possible to interpret them that way.--Vytaut (talk) 05:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Critical Negative review on The Moor’s last Sigh.

Unlike any other literary work on Kerala this book has reviews which show how poor he has been in usage of language and words.Reading this book is a displeasure.Everyother paragraph has bad words in it.Kerala and its people can never be thought of this way.It is such a cool green place.He does not even know that Moor was that of The British and not of The Portugese.Moor is an English word. His conception of looking at life in Kerala is like looking into a dictionary for bad words.Who is he to write like that.We completely disregard his writings. Not worth it.
