| Abstract | This thesis critically examines Indian-U.S. chick-lit in order to illustrate its complexity and to point out why scholars should give their attention to this sub-genre of mainstream chick-lit. Indian chick-lit’s adherence to mainstream chick-lit's conventions causes the articulation of the Indian heroine's hybrid identity to be very difficult. This thesis also explores how Indian chick-lit promblematizes chick-lit's invitation for the reader to identify with the female character when Indian chick-lit shows that assimilation to U.S. culture is pointless. |
