Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper argues that the Indian graphic novelist Sarnath Banerjee’s works evidence a well-imagined ‘ideal reader’. We contend that the process of ascertaining Banerjee’s ideal reader will allow us to appreciate his craft better while examining his creative politics. The paper attempts to delineate such a reader mainly based on substantiation from the texts. It uses supporting material from Banerjee’s interviews and readers’ responses from discussion platforms and reviews. It examines the choices made by Banerjee in the course of the creation of his work in terms of medium and format, language, complexity of form, subject matter, and age to demarcate his readership. It asserts that Banerjee attempts to continually evolve his works, demanding more from himself and his readers, evolving them in the process.
