Description
In May 1992, amidst the tumultuous backdrop of Eastern Europe's collapse and India's own social upheaval, Herbert Sarkar made a decision that would change his life forever. He chose to let go of everything: his aunt and uncle, his friends and foes, even the things he loved most. Herbert's story is one of loss, longing, and the search for meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart. This groundbreaking novel, now available in a new translation, takes us on a sweeping journey from Herbert's early years as an orphan to the Naxalite times of the 1970s, and finally, to the events that unfold after his death. Surreal, haunting, and beautiful, this book is a poignant portrayal of a city in crisis, and the human spirit that struggles to find its way through the darkness.
