Myths and legends provide a narrative platform for collective dreaming. In the context of the Anthropocene, myths and legends are employed to, ‘read the spaces around the protagonist by giving the natural world itself agency and identity and complexity’ (Callaghan 2015, 80). Thus, along with providing a narrative framework, the use of myths and legends in storytelling not only aids us in forming a kinship with worlds other than those of humans but also offers a space to explore the idea of identity in the context of eco-precarity and the crises of the present time. This chapter investigates Indian writer Amitav Ghosh’s use of myths and legends as narrative structure in Gun Island. and how myths and legends are juxtaposed with the spatial and temporal configuration of the novel to facilitate a platform for addressing the concerns of the environment in the precarious era of climate change and Anthropocene. This study relies extensively on Dipesh Chakrabarty’s idea of decentering the human concerning the planetary and the global, and Pramod K. Nayar’s assessment of eco-precarity. Thus, this chapter looks into the myths and legends depicted in the novel to focus on the question of identity in the terrain of a transitioning ecological civilisation taking into account the precarious state of the environment as a result of human interference. Attempting an ecocritical reading of the text, this study contextualises the myths and legends to highlight the narrative structure as well as position the novel in the wider frame of ecocriticism and Anthropocene.
