Tania Jamess The Tusk That Did the Damage (2015) is a contemporary fiction with high ecocritical concerns. The novel portrays the life of a baby elephant, later named as Gravedigger, and his development of an antagonizing attitude toward the human species. As a calf, he witnesses how poachers kill his mother only to cut off her tail for witchcraft purposes and another male elephant for his tusks. He is kept captive to be raised for entertainment that requires him to go through extensive abusive training sessions. He eventually manages to break the chain and reclaim his freedom, but with a different attitude toward humanity. Even though the novel is being narrated from different perspectives by various characters, mainly humans, applying first person narration, yet the main focus of the novel is on Gravedigger. The current research, taking an eco-cultural interdisciplinary standpoint toward the respective novel, attempts to tackle ideas such as post-colonial eco-political hypocrisy, interspecies conflict, and ecocritical biocentrism in narration. The research concludes with the respective novel as a rich platform to explore and experiment ecocritical contemporary concerns in a colonially infected setting.
