"Existential Dimensions in the Novels of Anita Desai is a modest attempt to evaluate critically almost all the novels of Anita Desai on the basis of existentialism. The whole book has been divided into six chapters.

The book, it is hoped, will certainly, prove to be very useful and fruitful to all those students, teachers and research scholars who want to be fully acquainted with the existentialism in the novels of Anita Desai." (jacket)
