In Of Lives Between Lines Daniel Jewesbury uses the fictional account of an Anglo-Indian woman in John Masters’ 1954 novel, Bhowani Junction as a template to construct his own hybrid autobiography. This questioning of the supposed monadic modern self highlights the move toward a post-colonial, situational subjectivity.

Jewesbury constructs a comparative mapping between the original text and the screenplay from the 1956 George Cukor Hollywood adaptation of the novel, tracing his own Anglo-Indian background by photographing certain locations from his past that denote potential sites for events in the novel. A newly-commissioned text by Kathleen J. Cassity, Identity in Motion, further questions the nature of this fluid subject.


本書のなかで、著者であるDaniel Jewesburyは、1954年にJohn Masterが残した小説「ボワニー分岐点」に出てくる、彼の自叙伝的な性格も持つ英印混血の女性の人物像を題材にしている。
Jewesburyはその小説と、それを元にした1956年に撮影された映画とを相対的にマッピングし、John Masterの過去に関係していて、かつ小説の中で舞台として使われた可能性のある特定の場所を撮影することで、英印混血の背景を追跡していく。
