From the acclaimed author of Red Earth and Pouring Rain, Five haunting stories that point a vivid picture of Bombay - its ghosts, its passions, its feuds, its mysteries -- and explore timeless questions of the human spirit.
The stories in Love and Longing in Bombay are linked by a single narrator, and elusive civil servant, who recounts an extraordinary sequence of tales to those seated around him in a smoky Bombay bar. Each of these stories belongs to a distinct genre: in "Shakti," a love story, two feuding families are suited by forbidden passion in "Dharma, " a ghost story, a soldier forced to save his life by amputating his own leg returns home to find that his house is haunted by the spirit of a small child; and in "Komo," a mystery, a detective takes on a murder case and finds himself traveling deep into the farthest reaches of carnality and deceit. Tightly controlled and luminously written, these beguiling. these beguiling tales prove once again that ikram Chandra is one of the most original and accomplished writers at work today.
