摘要
Indra Sinha's novel Animal's People (2007) is often read as an example for an authentic subaltern voice. It presents, within its fictional frame as pseudotranslation, the English version of the life story of a very poor, mentally unstable and physically deformed young Indian as told and recorded by himself in Hindi. This article traces the complex constellations of the many voices and languages in play in the novel and argues that the authentic subaltern voice is a hallucination that convincingly masks the absence of its speaker.
