Product Description
Amit Chaudhuri's first three award-winning novels in one volume When these three books were published in one volume in the US it was received with huge acclaim and went on to win the LA Times Book Award. Picador are now doing the same - bringing three wonderful books into one volume for the first time in the UK. Amit Chaudhuri writes about the details of every day urban life with brilliant sensitivity and often with great humour - whether it's England, America or an Indian city. This book is a treat and should open up Amit Chaudhuri's market. If you haven't read him before now's your chance! The San Francisco Chronicle described the author as 'one of the most dazzling new talents of any nationality' and this book will prove that beyond doubt.

This review is from: Three Novels: "A Strange and Sublime Address", " Afternoon Raag", "Freedom Song" (Paperback)
I took this book on holiday with me to India. I found the writing beautiful and evocative of the India I have grown to love through many visits . Chaudhuri's musical background was reflected in his prose, in particular in "Afternoon Raag" This is a slow paced and contemplative collection of 3 novels, together with 9 further very short stories. The writer takes us on a journey through a series of everyday incidents in the lives of ordinary people, and in doing so displays a vibrancy of emotions.
