In some places, cemeteries become contested spaces precisely because they are inconvenient 'embodiments' of a nation's past or history that the dominant elite seek to erase...a form of landscape cleansing.<br /><br />ALBERTO GOMES (on Facebook)Dale Luis Menezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707366650904496827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698006743552625350.post-69643290497936754652014-06-11T06:21:42.097-04:002014-06-11T06:21:42.097-04:00From what I recall reading, Reginald was a good st...From what I recall reading, Reginald was a good story teller who knew how to plot and structure a novel. His stories were like fairy tales though - and depended on fantasy to achieve his effects or to put it differently, on the willing suspension of disbelief on the part of a reader. His 'romans' did what tiatrs and what Bollywood films do in their respective genres. I suppose that if one wants to privilege him, or portray him as the chronicler of the subconscious of a subaltern group then one could, although I suspect such approaches will be subject to the law of diminishing returns after a while. I personally prefer to look at him as a story teller with a message and study his rhetorical techniques to better understand what he's saying. augusto pintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177800088172999516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698006743552625350.post-60493082476040676732014-06-11T02:16:40.861-04:002014-06-11T02:16:40.861-04:00As far as I know Reginald bab was reading English ...As far as I know Reginald bab was reading English Novels. You would always find him with a English novel at the Bastani or Kyani restaurant. Once when when we were having tea at Bastani (this was our regular joint in the evening) with late Orlando Gomes of The Times of India, and M. Boyer, Reginald bab walked in with an English novel in his hands. Seeing that novel in his hands M. Boyer remarked, "Mestri, tuje fuddle romaxichem nanv kitem?"<br />FAUSTO V. da COSTA (on Facebook)Dale Luis Menezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06707366650904496827noreply@blogger.com
