About This Item
Faber & Faber, 2000. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- Welcome to the Fisherman`s Rest, a little bar off the Sasoon Dock in Bombay where Mr. Subramaniam spins his tales for a select audience. This is the setting for Vikram Chandra`s collection of seven short stories, Love and Longing in Bombay, and Subramaniam is Chandra`s Scheherezade. In these stories, Chandra has covered the gamut of genres: there is a ghost story, a love story, a murder mystery, and a crime story, each tale joined to the others by the voice of the elusive narrator. In "Shakti," a discussion about real estate leads to the story of a soldier who must exorcise a ghostly child from his family home. In the final story, "Shanti," a young woman`s despair about the state of the country becomes a springboard for a tale of love and hope. Love and Longing in Bombay is a mesmerizing collection, filled with fully rounded characters and stories that resonate long after the book is back on the shelf. Chandra`s prose is luminous, his tales satisfying. Scheherezade would be impressed.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Faber & Faber The date of this copy is 2000 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
