[EAN: 9788178355634], Neubuch, 258 John, a lecturer in philosophy at Delhi University, returns to his flat one evening to find a letter waiting for him. A subsequent meeting with the author of the letter leaves a question mark over the supposed death of john’s fiancée, some years earlier. He temporarily suspends his work with the hijra community in Delhi to accompany Diamond, a researcher in aesthetics, to Shimla, where he had formerly studied. At Shimla they find themselves in the midst of a right-wing conspiracy. After four weeks, when John returns to Delhi he is nowhere near a solution to the problem. If anything, events in the past seem even more inexplicable. This is a story of a deeply felt personal quest for beauty and love, against the backdrop of modern India with all its strange contradictions and tensions. About The Author:- Rajesh Talwar, is a lawyer by profession, a prolific writer, and has also taught law at Delhi University and Jamia Millia Islamia for a period of six years.
