The Forigner

IS A STORY OF A YOUNG MAN WHO IS DETACHED, ALMOST ALIENATED.

Arun Joshi was born in Varanasi, India and received his education in India and USA. He returned to India to become an industrial manager. In today's world of book-promos and PR, he was deemed to be at total misfit, an oddball, as he kept himself out of limelight and away from the public eye. His writings dealing with existence along with the ethical choices a man has to make, won him huge critical appreciation in India. His five novels and a compilation of short stories won him critical acclaim and acknowledgment as an author of rare sensitivity. One of his writings, 'The Last Labyrinth', was awarded the prestigious Sahitya Award, India's highest literary honor.
