    Preliminary Material -- WAYS OF BEING FREE: INTRODUCTION -- CAUSES OF EXISTENTIAL ANGST -- CHANGE AND CHANGELESSNESS IN MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN -- THE ROAD OF EXISTENTIAL STRUGGLE IN THE FAMISHED ROAD -- HISTORY AND THE “NERVOUS CONDITION” IN THE ENGLISH PATIENT -- DEATH AS A DRIVE TO MEANINGFUL EXISTENCE IN MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN -- BECOMING DEAD-TO-THE-WORLD IN THE ENGLISH PATIENT -- IDEOLOGICAL RE-APPROPRIATION THROUGH DEATH IN THE FAMISHED ROAD -- AUTHENTICITY: INTRODUCTION -- FROM SELF-SUFFICIENCY TO INOPERATIVE COMMUNITY IN THE ENGLISH PATIENT -- REVOLUTION REVISITED IN THE FAMISHED ROAD -- FROM COMMUNALISM TO THE COMIC ABSURD IN MIDNIGHT’S CHILDREN -- CONCLUSION -- BIBLIOGRAPHY -- INDEX. Iconic migrant writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Salman Rushdie and Ben Okri use their fictional worlds to articulate the ways in which existential “nervous conditions,” caused by violent postcolonial history, drive individuals to rework the critical notions of freedom, authenticity and community. This existential thread in their works has been largely ignored or left undeveloped in criticism. Although Rushdie has argued that they primarily write back to the imperial centre(s), in their signature novels, The English Patient , Midnight’s Children and The Famished Road , they respond to their conflicting cultural and ethnic heritages by dramatizing characters in traumatic struggles with belonging and affiliation. As a way of coping with their identity crises, most characters succumb to the political rhetoric of communalism. The central characters, however, are driven by a powerful desire for self-sufficiency. Yet, since this individualism clashes with their need for communal sharing, they enact a form of creative destruction of their singular selfhood and communal identity. They experience a certain plurality of singular selfhood and participate in forms of “inoperative communities,” which elicit bonds without ties and coexistence without the necessity of a common work and essence
