Description
In Custody is a touching and humorous novel about a scholar's yearnings for escape from his meanness. Deven, an impoverished college lecturer, sees an opportunity to improve his life when he is asked to interview India's greatest Urdu poet, Nur.
This project can only end in disaster, but it sets off a chain of calamities that will change Deven's life forever. Anita Desai's beautifully written novel explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for meaning in a small town in northern India.
