When You are Nowhere (Paperback)

Paperback. " Love flows in debris of destruction "In this haunting debut, Pranab Kumar Senapati deconstructs the cost of peace. When a police cover-up saves a village from a communal riot, two lovers are forced into a ghost existence. As they dissolve into the anonymity of the city-becoming "nowhere" people-the novel exposes the brutal reality of those who fall through the cracks of the census.Reminiscent of the gritty realism of Aravind Adiga and the tragic scope of Thomas Hardy, As You are Nowhere is a requiem for the forgotten. It challenges the reader to look at the beggars on the station platform and wonder: What history did they lose to get here? This item is printed on demand.
