Description
An epic tale of love and political violence set in earthquake-ravaged Darkmotherland, a dystopian reimagining of Nepal, from the Whiting Award-winning author of Arresting God in Kathmandu In Darkmotherland, Nepali writer Samrat Upadhyay has created a novel of infinite embrace--filled with lovers and widows, dictators and dissidents, paupers, fundamentalists, and a genderqueer power player with her eyes on the throne. At the heart of the novel are two intertwining narratives: one of Kranti, a revolutionary's daughter, who marries into a plutocratic dynasty and becomes ensnared in the family's politics. And then there is the tale of Darkmotherland's new dictator, and his mistress, Rosy, who undergoes radical body-changes and grows into a figure of immense power. Upadhyay's novel is a romp through the vast space of a globalized universe where personal ambitions are inextricably tied to political fortunes, where individual identities are shaped by family pressures and social reins, and where the East connects to and collides with the West in brilliant and unsettling ways.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
