![]() ![]() Translated from the Marathi by acclaimed novelist and critic Jerry Pinto, Sachin Kundalkars elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare novel explores the disruption of a traditional family by a free-spirited stranger in order to examine a generation in transition. When he runs away with Anuja, he overturns the familys lives. He has no family, no friends, no history, and no plans for the future. He seems like the perfect tenant, ready with the rent and happy to listen to their mothers musings on the imminent collapse of Indian culture. Brother and sister Tanay and Anuja both fall in love with the same man, an artist lodging in their family home in Pune, in western India.
