Anita Desai's "Games at Twilight"

Anita Desai herself is the daughter of an Indian father and a German mother. Therefore, she brings elements of her childhood in India to her stories. In "Games at Twilight," we were able to identify the following details that seem to be specific to India:

  • Desai gives the children Indian names, such as Raghu and Manu.
  • Desai describes the mother's habit of putting on talcum powder and a fresh sari to deal with the heat.
  • As she describes the yard of the house, Desai mentions eucalyptus and parrots, both commonly found in India.
