This book, a collection of essays on and reviews of the life and works of Arun Sarma, contributes towards generating and sustaining academic engagement with the renowned litterateur of Assam, India, on both national and global platforms. It will push forth his legacy beyond the linguistic and geographical barriers of the Indian state, and develop a congenial environment for generating a new and active reading public—a vibrant community of literary enthusiasts all over the world. The book serves as an extension of the avowed goal of Arun Sarma as a playwright and novelist to rise above barriers of all kinds, resulting in the production of a body of knowledge on theatre of Assam. The book will be of use to academics, students, and research scholars of English literature, writings from North-East India, performance studies, theatre studies, India studies, south Asian cultures, and cultural studies, among others.
