Acid - Sangeetha Sreenivasan - Bog - Penguin Random House India - Plusbog.dk

Life is a brief, waking dream-but who casts the spell? Two striking women, Kamala and Shaly, helm an unusual household, fuelled by their intense, tempestuous romance in a rapidly changing Bangalore. Downstairs, Kamala''s sons take care of each other in their own way-the twins are bound together by an early accident that paralysed Shiva, making Aadi his brother''s caretaker. Beautiful Shaly is the object of more than one person''s affections-and she, too, has a complicated past. When Kamala''s mother dies, she returns to Kerala-to an ancestral house of horrors which lies next to the cremation grounds in Cochin''s outlying reaches: a place which, nevertheless, is home. However, nothing can prepare her for the devastation that ensues in this lyrical, hallucinatory trip of a story. Utterly gripping and powerfully unsettling, Sangeetha Srinivasan''s phenomenal debut subverts received ideas about society, individuality and motherhood. Acid unravels the secrets that lurk beneath the surface oif our lives, and marks the entry of a searing new voice in the Indian literary landscape.

Aranyak - Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay - Bog - Penguin Random House India - Plusbog.dk

Aranyak - Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay - Bog - Penguin Random House India - Plusbog.dk

Translated from the Bengali by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay From one of the greatest Bengali novelists of all time Aranyak, written in 1939, is a famous Bengali novel by Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay based on his long and arduous years in northern Bihar. There he came into contact with a part of the world that, even now, remains unknown to most of us. ''Aranyak'' literally means ''Of the Forest''. This novel explores the simple and heart-warming story of a man who gets a job as an estate manager in Bihar, and slowly falls in love with the beautiful and tranquil forest around him. The dichotomy of urban and rural life comes alive, reflecting the great love that human beings and nature can share, one that Bandyopadhyay experienced in his heart. Written by one of the greatest Bengali authors, this haunting novel is rooted in guilt and sadness but also tremendous beauty.Read more

Storywallah - Neelesh Misra - Bog - Penguin Random House India - Plusbog.dk

Storywallah - Neelesh Misra - Bog - Penguin Random House India - Plusbog.dk

In 2011, the screenwriter, lyricist and journalist Neelesh Misra started mentoring a handpicked group of writers called the Mandali. These were men and women of all ages, backgrounds and dispositions. The Mandali soon started writing radio stories in Hindi, for Misra's show Yaadon Ka Idiotbox-short, pithy, bittersweet narratives that immediately struck a chord with listeners across the country. Translated for the first time in English, this collection represents the Mandali at the height of its powers. These stories are blessed with a keen sense of place, attuned to the rhythms of both small-town India and rapidly expanding mega-cities like Delhi or Mumbai. Homesick yuppies reconnect with their hometowns, old lovers reconcile against all odds, and parents learn to get along with their grown-up children. A mother-in-law uses questionable tactics to bond with her distant daughter-in-law, a war widow learns to stand up to family, and a life-threatening mountain slope brings two strangers together. These are fresh, untamed voices aided and abetted by a master storyteller.
