  • Description
    Conflicted over his sinister duties with the Lokshakti, Vyas writes a confessional love-letter to his wife. But how did the letter end up with the scholar-politician, Durga Dhasal? And when the Lokshakti murders Dhasal, Vyas has to find the incriminating letter before it's too late. The trail leads Vyas to various people, including: the passionate scientist torn between exit and loyalty; the businessman who collects ruins; the beguiling actress who was once Shahzadi Jahanara; the eunuch poet fond of Jewish jokes. It leads him to a powerful, subversive new myth. The lost letter leads Vyas to himself.

    A novel like no other - just wonderful!

After reading Ursula Le Guin’s endorsement on the book, I needed no further encouragement, and was suitably rewarded. Each chapter proceeds from a different point of view, and together, this ensemble cast unravels a story. What works very well is the subtle, sometimes dark humour that lifts the narra...

    Half of What I Say: A Book of Our Times

    Some books are meant to be read slowly, savoured, understood at the pace that the book demands. Half of What I Say is one such book. The story reveals itself not only as you read it but also, layer upon layer, later, in retrospect.

    Lokshakti is a party on the rampage to improve the cultural climate of our country. In trying to do so, it tur...
