Book Summary
About the Book: The Fantastic Affair of Despair
As a newborn India wails into existence, a silent woman labours away in the
cramped copy editorial department of a postcolonial magazine. Her days are
fraught with the chauvinism of her male colleagues, sanctioned by the founder,
Chief, who fancies himself a revolutionary. In the evenings, she returns to a
near-peaceful cohabitation with her widowed, opium-addled landlady. But her
monotonous life is suddenly interrupted by an act of extreme violence.
Unable to continue living as she had been, the woman enters a self-imposed
exile first in the city of frescoes, and then in a Himalayan dharamshala.
