Soft cover. Zustand: New. Deep wants out—out of his family, his city and, more than anything else, his life. His parents argue ceaselessly, his dad spends nights shouting at the television, and his brother, who hasn't said a word in over a year, suddenly turns to him one day and tells him to die. So when Lily—beautiful, older and married—shows him more than a flicker of attention, he falls heedlessly in love. It doesn't help that Lily is an alcoholic, hates her husband, and doesn't think much of herself or her immigrant Chinese roots. When, one day, his brother disappears, Deep's obsession with Lily truly flies out of control. Ranbir Sidhu's novel takes us into the heart of another America and into the lives of 'the other Indians'—the ones who don't get talked about and whose stories don't get written. Sharp, funny, and unsentimental, Deep Singh Blue chronicles America's underbelly racism while taking us into the heart of a wildly dysfunctional family trying its best—and too often failing—to gain a foothold in their adopted land.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. In twelve startling and vividly imagined stories, Ranbir Sidhu overturns the lives of ordinary Indians. A woman attends a decluttering class in search of true love, only to stumble into a very different kind of encounter. A drunkard diplomat in Africa is mysteriously transferred to San Francisco, where everyone believes him to be a great, unheralded Urdu poet. An archaeological expedition searching for human ancestors goes disastrously wrong and the leader turns to uncovering the very first sounds uttered by humans. To celebrate her husband's retirement, a wife decides to prepare and serve her pet python to the dinner guests. The discovery of a skull outside an orphanage leads to the creation of a cult around one of the charismatic young residents. Unsettling, moving, insightful, humorous-the beautifully crafted tales in Our Cities Are Not Your Cities travel between despair and redemption, illuminating the lives of deeply flawed characters. They help us reimagine the possibilities of contemporary fiction-and the journeys it can take us on.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 'I wonder at this thing we call a family, this accumulation of bodies, stories, ghosts and memories, and above all silences .' Ranbir Sidhu's searing new work opens with the death of his father and loops back, nine months earlier, to the loss of his mother-'the gestation period for a human embryo'. Wanting to understand something of their lives, he finds himself on a journey from the working-class neighbourhoods of his London childhood to middle-class California and finally to rural Punjab. Who were his parents, he asks, and as importantly, who might they have been were it not for the ugliness of Partition and the village's stifling patriarchal grip? In an innovative blend of memoir, essay, travelogue and history, Sidhu charts the geographical space where his parents were born and died, against its deep histories of violence and its demand for a masculinity that suffocates and deforms the lives of both women and men. And all of it tethered to one word that makes imagination impossible: sharam or shame. Diving deep into the personal while piercing the soul of a culture, No one gets out of here alive achieves the incredible - it tells of family, and in doing so, it tells of the unmooring of Punjab.…
