Overview
The prize-winning debut fiction work by Amit Chaudhuri, the author whose 'languorous, elliptical, beautiful prose is impressively impossible to put in any category at all' (Salman Rushie).
Abhi, a Bengali boy, spends his school holidays at his uncle''s home in Calcutta, trying to make sense of the often confusing world of adults around him. Heatwaves, thunderstorms, mealtimes, prayer-sessions, shopping expeditions and family visits create the shifting tectonic plates that will eventually shape the family''s life.
Delicate, nuanced, full of exquisite detail, A Strange and Sublime Address is also a paean to the city, with nine short stories that illustrate the world of Amit Chaudhuri''s imagination.
