Arun Joshi

Arun Joshi (1939-1993) was an Indian writer. He is known for his novels The Strange Case of Billy Biswas and The Apprentice. He won the Sahitya Akademi Award for his novel The Last Labyrinth in 1982. His novels have characters who are urban, English speaking and disturbed for some reason. According to one commentator, "The shallowness of middle-class society is not for him a point of rhetoric, intended to show off his own enlightened superiority, but a theme to be explored with actual concern."
