Abstract
In the present times, Vikram Seth is in the news as the newspaper headlines and articles rave about the emergence of him as a writer. He has experimented his art with different genres of writing, but it is his novels that have brought him undying fame. Seth began his literary career as a common writer. He prefers to write his own experiences of the foreign cultures without being alien to the locale. In Seth’s works, the culture of different countries always looks true. It is as a poet that he first made his mark in the literary world. It can be said that his A Suitable Boy is not necessarily his first novel, for The Golden Gate, indeed, is a landmark of Seth’s literary career. Seth’s The Humble Administrator’s Garden is one of the best collections of poems by an Indian in English. However, The Golden Gate confirms Seth’s arrival as a star in the literary firmament. As an emerging artist, he notices myriad problems which trouble the contemporary society, and so he also feels distress at them. However, he does not criticise them bitterly as is done by Swift, or conjure up pathos like Dickens.
Vikram Seth, as an emerging writer, treats a number of themes which primarily form the universe of his fiction. His preoccupations are varied: loneliness, alienation, love and passion, music, marriage and family, changing times, corruption, realism and nuclear insanity and disarmament, etc. The world of Seth is replete with frustration, destruction and disappointment. As a writer, he seems to be interested in fulfilled love that leads to marriage and family.
This paper deals with Vikram Seth, as an emerging writer, portrays the life in his novels in all its true colours. The diversity of themes, the technical innovativeness and the linguistic virtuosity are the special characteristics of Vikram Seth as a novelist. In deploying the language resource, Vikram Seth is undeniably the most outstanding writer.
