A lyrical, luminous offering from the pioneer of Punjabi novel writing and
Sahitya Akademi‐awardee Nanak Singh
When a ticket officer apprehends a ticketless traveller at the Amritsar
Railway Station, he is shocked to discover that the penniless young man in
tattered clothes is none other than the widely acclaimed writer Gupteshwar.
But even more disconcerting than the state of the author is the story of his
new novel, one that lays bare the moral rot besieging twentieth-century
Punjab. As the author reads from his unfinished manuscript, it becomes clear
that the tale of the two women he is weaving is far from fictional.
With its nested narratives, rich prose and fascinating depiction of quotidian
life, Nanak Singh's pivotal novel paints an unsparing portrait of a society
infected with corruption, casteism and appalling inequality, where those who
position themselves as guardians of morality are the ones most willing to
abuse their power.
