Description:

A Strange and Sublime Address ‘Funny, delicate, sensuous, evocative . . . made me laugh aloud. The best portrait of India today I’ve read’ Margaret Drabble ‘This evocation of the routine, quotidian magic of normality strikes me as an extraordinary thing to have brought off . . . mesmerizing’ John Lanchester, Vogue Afternoon Raag ‘Enchanting, studded with moments of beauty more arresting that anything to be found in a hundred busier and more excitable narratives . . . Chaudhuri has proven that he can write better than just about anyone of his generation’ Jonathan Coe, London Review of Books ‘This immensely subtle novel both estranges and gently strokes the surface of English and Indian life. I know of nothing in English fiction that resembles it’ Tom Paulin Freedom Song ‘An immensely gifted writer . . . his novels are crammed with breathtaking sentences, sharp characterizations, comic set pieces and melancholy grace notes’ New York Times Book Review ‘Chaudhuri writes about India like no one else . . . Exquisite and supremely haunting, a work of contemporary fiction by a world-class writer’ Robert McCrum, Observer
