Soft cover. Zustand: New. A hugely acclaimed collection of stories about the family— mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, and other ties of blood— by one of India's greatest short-story writers. Unforgettable stories about the family; how it can be both harbour and exile. A man drifts away from family and home and becomes a monk, yet nothing fills the void; the only constants are dreams and hallucinations where his mother sometimes appears. Another son retreats to his room, then disappears; ten years later, the father, Sudhakar, doesn't want to harbour false hope, but the mother, Hemlata, clings to it. Ardeshir and Firoza face a similar predicament—only, their daughter, Arnavaz, hasn't gone missing; she lives with them, even in her absence. A woman, half-estranged from her mother, comes to visit her grandmother, perhaps for the last time. A son recounts the unremarkable life of his mother—'more space than matter'—to the day she is taken to the vultures. The stories in this collection are among the finest explorations of family ties you will read. Keki Daruwalla, a great poet of our time, proves again that he was also a great master of the short story. 'Daruwalla manages to give us, in what seems like a grim subject, mystery, thrill, hope, heartbreak, and tear-jerker moments, all in … lucid writing that is engaging till the very last page.'—The New Indian Express.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. He had turned footloose, moving from vihara to vihara, an exile not from his faith so much as from the times, and a family is a part of the times? He wrote to his mother?it was some years since he had seen her. He wanted to become a bhikshu, he wrote. A man drifts away from family and home and becomes a monk, yet nothing fills the void. The only constants are dreams and hallucinations where his mother sometimes appears. Another son retreats to his room, then disappears. It has been ten years and the father, Sudhakar, doesn't want to harbour false hope, but the mother, Hemlata, clings to it. Ardeshir and Firoza face a similar predicament. Only their daughter, Arnavaz, hasn't gone missing; she lives with them, even in her absence. A woman, half-estranged from her mother, comes to visit her grandmother, perhaps for the last time. The stories in this collection are among the finest explorations of family ties you will read?ties that injure and heal; ties that can be everything, yet never enough. Keki Daruwalla, a great poet of our time, proves again that he is also a great master of the short story.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. A towering figure in English poetry from South Asia, Keki Daruwalla has been admired by an entire generation of readers for the power and vigour, the sharp sense of irony and, more recently, the deep, strangely soothing poignancy of his poems. He has also been acclaimed for the historical and geographical sweep of his themes, his uncommon responsiveness to the natural world, and the rare immediacy of his language. All of these qualities inform his extraordinary new collection of poems written over almost five years, between 2018 and 2022, including the long months of the COVID pandemic when Daruwalla was infected himself, and produced a magnificent long poem'The Night Attendant'. In this major work, Daruwalla shows us again why he is a giant, and a true original, of Indian poetry.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A young Seema discovers a cache of letters and papers in a locker belonging to her deceased mother. Besides chronicling her far-roving life across Canada, USA, Mexico, and India, these offer a glimpse into her private history-her feelings for M, a major leader of the Communist movement in British India and abroad; her commitment to, not only him, but also his cause; and her struggle to keep alive her feelings for him after his disenchantment with Communism. Even as Seema's mother grows increasingly cynical about the Communist cause, Seema blossoms into a rebel, voicing her dissent during the Emergency. If her insurgent spirit is curtailed, it is on account of a marriage that cramps her style. All at once, Seema's story crisscrosses with her mother's-as both women try making sense of lackluster alliances; as both find comfort in letters. A deftly woven tale spanning India's pre- and post-Independence history, Letters to Mamma is, above all, a celebration of words. These are words staining missives; words connecting the contradictory worlds of idealism and reality; and words that remind readers why Keki N. Daruwalla remains one of India's greatest writers.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. 'Over the course of Keki Daruwalla's long career, some things have stayed the same: a vertical view of history that plunges across centuries and mythologies, an epic canvas rendered in minute detail, and a narrative engine that never stops ticking. What has changed is a tonal quality. Early poems that drip with scorn segue into the lovely late lyrics, with their grudging acceptance of mortality and frailty. This is an essential collection, a summing-up, as well as a fount of instruction and pleasure.' Jeet Thayil 'Daruwalla's verbs have lost none of their feral quality. His poetic line remains, for the most part, sinewy and energetic. The capacity to combine atmospheric sweep with succinctness, and to turn out the startling turn of phrase with an almost throwaway air are unchanged. Several moments in these poems linger long after one has closed the book: the wind "whetting its razor on eroded slopes", "leaves like old scrolls wrapped in their crackling selves", "a firefly pulsing/low on battery", "the full-throated tremolo [of wolves] ricocheting in the wilds", "the tangled reed-and-sedge locks of Shiva", and "elegy moving like a slow Wagnerian movement", to name just a few [] Vigorous and powerful, the poems of Keki Daruwalla continue to take wing.'Arundhathi Subramaniam. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A collection of short stories by Keki N Daruwalla, the acclaimed poet-cum-novelist at his very best. There are new stories here written especially for this book in a span of less than two months and perennial favourites [of vintage worth] still relevant in today's changed times. The collection showcases the author's enduring range. The new stories are first person narratives and, with the exception of one, voices of women city women putting into words their moods and memories. The author has deliberately shunned the violence-factor in this collection. In fact 'Bars,' a new story written for another volume and included in this, is a commentary on the strains of intolerance staining the social fabric. Coming to the, the perennial favourites, they are Vintage Keki Daruwalla; vignettes from the vast repository of a wordsmith who can straddle myth and reality with ease and finesse, breathe life into metaphors, coalesce fact and fancy and still sound fascinatingly credible, with his patent black humour well in place. The collection includes stories where fantasy and myth transport one to the pre-language, pre-script, era; to amphibious trains and an island of birds. In short, the master storyteller weaves his magic yet again. A must read sure to tempt the reader to not just a good read but repeat- and-repeat reads (jacket).…
