Working Title 1.1: The Bombay Liaison (is Grateful)
In three interlocking stories, Dinika Amaral explores the fantasy and frustrations of post-colonial India. Weaving together the experiences of western visitors, the bustle of a contemporary Bombay marketplace, and figures from sacred Hindu texts, Amaral offers a mercurial, dreamlike vision of Bombay in the 21st century: ancient, global, chaotic, dazzling. Read an excerpt or purchase on Weightless, Amazon or Kobo.
“Dinika Amaral is as good as can be imagined. I am sure this story will be received to thunderous applause–and with good reason.” –Darin Strauss, author of Chang and Eng and Half a Life
