Description

Winner of the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, 'Solo' is a critically acclaimed novel by Rana Dasgupta. This new book tells the life and daydreams of a reclusive one-hundred-year-old man from Bulgaria.

Astonished by his discovery, he embarked on an epic armchair journey through a century of violent politics, forbidden music, lost love and failed chemistry, finding his way eventually to an astonishing epiphany of tenderness and enlightenment. The story begins with the man reading about a group of explorers who came upon a community of parrots speaking the language of a society that had been wiped out in a recent catastrophe.

With its unique blend of politics, music, love and chemistry, 'Solo' is a thought-provoking exploration of human experience. This paperback edition features 352 pages and is published by Fourth Estate.
