A Day in the Life by Anjum Hasan, Edition 2018
Quixotic nonconformists in small towns and young newly weds trying to keep up with the times; a forlorn retiree helpless in the face of contemporary anger and a middle class woman's bond with her maid. Fourteen well crafted stories give us a sense of the daily life of a wide cast of characters. Hasans protagonists are, as always, inward looking, and whimsical and vulnerable outliers. Where is their place in the new order, where have they come from and where are they going.
Quietly devastating, subtly subversive and wonderfully wry, Hasan is a home grown talent whose stories are increasingly the good address for authentic Indian fiction.
