- Аннотация: The paper deals with some aspects of glocalization depicted in N.Varma’s novel “Raat kaa Reportar”. Though the term ‘glocalization’ appeared practically at the time of the novel’s publication, it can be considered as one of the first novels which represented this process clearly, not declaring or even mentioning it openly in the text. A combination and sometimes diffusion of a global and local is clearly seen in the novel starting from the title and up to the last word ‘VOID’, which could not be understood without a context of the novel. Nirmal Varma’s autobiographical experience, European and Indian political or literary context help to find sources and explain some of the aspects of glocalization presented in the novel, probably without any special intention of the author. The novel does not show or discuss a development of “a global market – vishwa bazaar” in India, but presents a deep process of local and global interactions mainly in intellectual, literary, political and private spheres. It is seen thanks to some parallels with N.Varma’s story “Doosrii duniyaa” also. The main attention in the paper will be given to the novel’s language which demonstrates a combination of Hindi and English vocabulary, when practically every personage has a specific “word pattern” depending on his/her characteristic and a role in the plot. Delhi is also one of the novel’s heroes and is presented not only as the capital of India, but a specific example of a global city “at the times of turmoil”, psychological, mental or practical.
