"The image of the house has always been used to talk about the expansive, mimetic nature of the novel; but in Biswas you have a form of realism that is unable to contain the anguish of cultural displacement and diasporic movement. Although the unhomely is a paradigmatic postcolonial experience, it has a resonance that can be heard distinctly, it erratically, in fictions that negociate the powers of cultural difference in a range of historical conditions and social contradictions."
