Abstract:
RIVERS RUN BACK
reveals many aspects of Indian and North American Culture, as seen
through the lens of the marriage of Shankar Chatterjee, a social
anthropologist from Allahabad and Marilyn Benson, an artist from New
York. They raise their daughters in Vancouver, where their fates
intertwine with that of a master criminal who falls in love with one
sister while seeking to destroy the other. Their family fragments. But
the end, events conspire to lead them back to India, where they find
healing and wholeness.
Also- here is the link to the essay on our cross-cultural collaboration that Joyce wrote for the Los Angeles Review of Books-
