About the Book: Seahorse
Nem is a student of English Literature at Delhi University. He drifts between
classes, weedhazy parties, and the amorous complexities of campus life, until a
chance encounter with an art historian steers him into a world of pleasure and
artistic discovery. One day, without warning, his mentor disappears. Years
later, a cryptic note plunges him into a search for this mysterious figure from
his past-a search which turns into a reckoning with himself. Retelling the myth
of Poseidon and his youthful male devotee Pelops, Seahorse transforms a simple
coming-ofage story into an epic drama of love, loss and healing.
