- Title
Home and the World: The Cornish Migration and Displacement of Huichol in Anita Desai's The Zigzag Way.
- Authors
Yadav, Navin Kumar
- Abstract
The ZigzagW ay, published in 2004, is a haunting exploration of human life and history. Set in Mexico, the novel is about a young American's search for his genealogical roots. It's a journey backward to enter into past as Desai rightly points out in the very beginning of the novel that "the ancient Chinese believed that time is not a ladder ascends into future but a ladder one descends into the past" (The Zigzag Way1). It's about Eric's zigzag voyage into Mexico's mining history and the history of his own family.
