Introduction: "Postcolonial Yearning" -- 1. Travel Writing and Cultural Tourism: William Dalrymple's "Nine Lives" and Pankaj Mishra's "An End to Suffering" -- 2. "Things Fall Apart" and "Wide Sargasso Sea" : Revisiting Spirit, Rewriting Canon -- 3. Crossing Boundaries in Leila Ahmed's "A Border Passage" and Pico Iyer's "Abandon" -- 4.

Anglophone postcolonial studies has been characterized by its secular nature. Yet as the first generation of scholars grapples with mortality, a yearning for spiritual meaning is emerging in many texts. This study synthesizes the sacred language used in these texts with critical theory in order to create a holistic frame for interpretive analysis.
