Abstract: A close perusal of the works of Kamala Das has been done to elicit the ‘’disillusionment’’ or ‘’hallucinations’’ leading to an explicit sensual theory unseen hitherto in Indian writing in English. All works of the writer, including her poems, stories, memoirs and other forms of writings have been perused to trace the writer’s journey through a landscape of hallucination and disillusionment leaving the readers confounded more often than not! It also emerges that the great poetess has always had an insatiable desire that is often seen by conservatives as blasphemous and the modernists as voyeuristic. But neither of these schools should be taken seriously. The following analysis makes every possible effort to be objective and discerning so as to arrive at fair and just conclusions!
