| Descripción: | Canadian and Indian English writing has long been grounded in spatiotemporal specificity yet a reverse trend has also developed where the travels and journeys of the protagonists across regions and landscapes ultimately led into inner worlds of consciousness. Canadian and Indian writing conventions might form what can be artistically described as a collage where multihued, multilingual, multi ethnic experiences congregate and evolve. The experiences of expatriates and emigrants also form a part of this tapestry. The metaphor of travel, journey whether outward or inward has been a powerful motif in postcolonial writing providing creative fodder to artistically inclined writers but all works depicting journeys need not be action packed, movement oriented, result specific. The varied response of writers to spatio temporal issues can be best discussed by taking as specimens, Arithat Van Herk’s No Fixed Address, an out rightly feminist, action packed, picaresque, revolutionary text depicting an outward journey as well as a mental travesty simultaneously for its spirited protagonist Arachne Manteia. Rohinton Mistry, an Indian settled in Canada, also treats the issue of spatio temporal grounding, more specifically the ambiguous Phoenix like search for ‘home territory’, in the trials and travails of Gustav Noble in Such A Long Journey. Gustav, though grounded in a changing world, continues to persevere in bringing order into an insane world not by physically crusading for it but placing his trust in the long established conventions and divine interventions. My paper seeks to examine the varied use of the metaphor of ‘travel’ employed by the two writers in their canonical texts and their varied treatment of the same timeless theme of ‘Home is where we have to gather Grace’. |
