Prem Kumari Srivastava and Mona Sinha's Indian Popular Fiction: New Genres, Novel Spaces is a big intervention in the way 'popular' genres in India are read, understood and analysed. In order to redefine the term 'popular', the anthology has included selected critical essays on literary writings, films, media reports and publishers' accounts among others. The volume, thus, is a reminder that the "Indian popular' is not only a complex entity of interdisciplinarity, but when it comes to teaching and researching, there are several challenges to its critical and pedagogical practices, particularly for a student of literary studies.
