Death of an Elephant is an allegory of existence. Pran Dubey, a professor failed by avowed social institutions, is a conflicted man torn apart by his strife and Diaspora neurosis in the ambiguities of past and present, tradition and modernity, and life and death. Human incompleteness and life’s absurdities—hope and despair trapped in the paradox of pain and pleasure—are dramatized through an Eastern soul with a Western mind and a pen dipped in the ink of reflecti ve reality.
