Memorizing Partition and Transmission of Trauma in Reema Moudgil’s Perfect Eight

Abstract

<div><p><em>Literary studies and historiographies have restored and recovered a number of Partition narratives. This paper interrogates the revisiting of partition memory in Reema Moudgil Perfect Eight which returns to partition memory, through two generations. It compares the trajectories of this memory for a first generation survivor with the intergenerational memory of the daughter who vicariously relives this past</em>. </p></div>
