The Keeper of Desolation
Translated by Sayari Debnath
English 240 pages 1 edition
‘Poignant and hard-hitting’ – GEETANJALI SHREE, winner of the International Booker Prize 2022 for Tomb of Sand A farmer urges the Prime Minister to change the formula for compound interest… A man refuses to make space for another on a train and is beaten to death… A family living in a single room forgets one member even exists… Surreal yet gritty, violent yet poetic – such is the world of Chandan Pandey’s fiction. Set deep in the heart of present-day India, The Keeper of Desolation chronicles the warped realities our everyday lives must confront and battle. Immersive and provocative in equal measure, these stories from one of the most powerful voices of our generation make for an arresting record of our times – while transcending time itself.
