CRCC SPAN Journal of the South Pacific Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies Number 34-35 (1993) Edited by Vijay Mishra with Runar Vignisson Runar Vignisson I was wondering if we could just start by your telling us a little bit about yourself, however you want to start. Bharati Mukherjee I was born in Calcutta, in the Eastern part of India, in 1940 into a wealthy traditional family. When I was growing up I lived in an extended family so that there were 40, 45 people living in the house at the same time. There was absolutely no sense of privacy, every room felt crowded. In fact in the traditional Bengali Hindu family of my kind to want privacy was to be selfish. That was why I was so entranced by the idea of Iceland having little population and lots of space. RV Yes, its very hard, coming from Iceland, to imagine that situation because, you know, there are two people per square kilometre in Iceland. So that's very interesting. BM RV Oh really?

Extractions: or in downtown Steamboat Springs In the medium of short fiction, Bharati Mukherjee stands as a contemporary master. Her stories possess a subtle bluntness and internalized center unsurpassed by any writer today. She is of that group of authors who dispense entirely with any scent of resolution in their narratives in an attempt to drive the reader directly back into the center of the story itself. It is the sandpapery swishing of the pages in the midst of the story and the moments therein that captivate the authors of such fiction, rather than some tritely satisfying conclusion.

Extractions: SOMEONE once said there are only four or five great themes in literature. One of those has to be the quest for identity, for the answer to the question, "Who am I?" That identity quest powers the plot of Bharati Mukherjee's sixth novel, Leave It to Me (Knopf, $23), in which a 23-year-old mixed-race adoptee, Debby DiMartino, leaves her comfortable Hudson Valley Italian family. Having metaphorically reincarnated herself as Devi, the death-dealing Indian goddess, she moves to San Francisco in search of Bio-Mom and Bio-Dad. Mukherjee, whose book tour brought her to Houston last week, brings a complex identity of her own to the task of writing. Born in Calcutta, she was raised in a conservative, affluent family. Her father owned a pharmaceutical plant, and the family lived in a walled compound, complete with security guards and a chauffeured Rover. It was a sheltered life. Girls were expected to be docile and take orders from their male elders. All that changed in 1961. Armed with a master's degree in English and ancient Indian culture, Mukherjee came to the United States to attend the University of Iowa (she would earn a master of fine arts in creative writing and a doctorate in English and comparative literature).

Extractions: interviewed by Ron Hogan Devi Dee, the self-rechristened protagonist of Bharati Mukherjee's latest novel, Leave It To Me , isn't happy. Abandoned by her American mother and Eurasian father in an Indian orphanage in the late '60s, she was adopted by a New York family and grew up as Debbie DiMartino. Now she's 23 and wants to track down her biological mother but the last thing on her mind is a heartwarming family reunion. Her quest leads her to San Francisco, a city that Mukherjee, who was born and raised in Calcutta but has lived in America for over thirty years, knows extremely well. Her knowledge of the city and the precarious mental and moral states of some of its inhabitants makes itself known in every tightly wound sentence of this novel, while her dark, sarcastic sense of humor manages to peep through even as the body count begins to climb. RH: What's it like to spend so much time writing about a protagonist who's basically unlikable, even reprehensible? BM: I kind of like her, actually.
