‘The
terrorist is inside us’

Tribune’s Charu Singh that he does not see a terrorist in isolation but
as part and parcel of evil in society
Author
Kiran Nagarkar is a man of many colours with a rare genius for literary
craftsmanship. Not only does he write with concern, pathos and a rare
understanding about the condition and tragedy of today’s violent and selfish
society but he also gets down to the root of all human need: love. He explores
the social milieu and the underlying tensions with boldness, imagination and a
rare humour. Nagarkar, a Maharashtrian, was born in Mumbai. His first book was
written in his mother tongue, Marathi.
