Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "A formidable mix of the personal and the political . . . The Way Things Were is a substantive contribution to new writing from the subcontinent." IndependentWhen Skanda's father Toby dies, estranged from Skanda's mother and from the India he once loved, it falls to Skanda to return his body to his birthplace. This is a journey that takes him halfway around the world and deep within three generations of his family, whose fractures, frailties and toxic legacies he has always sought to elude.Both an intimate portrait of a marriage and its aftershocks, and a panoramic vision of India's half-century - in which a rapacious new energy supplants an ineffectual elite - The Way Things Were is an epic novel about the pressures of history upon the present moment. It is also a meditation on the stories we tell and the stories we forget; their tenderness and violence in forging bonds and in breaking them apart.Set in modern Delhi and at flashpoints from the past four decades, fusing private and political, classical and contemporary to thrilling effect, this book confirms Aatish Taseer as one of the most arresting voices of his generation.PRAISE FOR AATISH TASEER"Intensely engrossing . . . a novel of ideas in the guise of a very human story." Financial Times"The Ways Things Were shows [Taseer] to be both an accomplished novelist and commentator. In delving beneath the surface, he has vividly exposed the quarrels and quandaries of an India undergoing rapid historical and social change." Spectator A breath-taking family story that will change the way you think of India. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
