Résumé
Employing the painterly forms of the diptych and the triptych to conceptualise the cartographic openness and dynamics of the city in Salman Rushdie’s The Moor’s Last Sigh, this article examines the tri-sected urban histories and geographies as well as the warring urban fictions which inform the image of Bombay in the novel. It traces the significance of these fictions’ clash and of the protagonist’s travels across cartographic divides.
