BACK OF THE BOOK
URDU poetry is a universe of lustrous pictures that presents in words of varying hue a delicacy of thought and depth of meaning. Every word, every simile and metaphor bears within itself a whole world of meaning, and this is the virtue of a great language that represents a celebrated civilization. This is the kind of poetry that can be rendered easily into English without hurting its poetic quality because it is free of the unnecessary ornamentation common to all eastern poetry. Like most Indians of the current age Idrak Bhatty too has been nurtured in both eastern and western cultured. The accent of these poems has its own distinctive identity; their rhythm and idiom reflecting contemporary awareness.
by Rajorshi
Chakraborti. RAJ Chakraborti, internationally renowned novelist and commentator, beloved and controversial in equal measure, reviled and resurrected periodically for his ever-shifting opinions, has disappeared from public view. What’s worse, the police want to question him about a murder: he was the last person to have met the young journalist who was later discovered dead on her doorstep. Meanwhile, his editor receives a package of papers in which Raj claims to explain his part in recent events and his reasons for nor surfacing. The material includes vhapters from his latest work of fiction about a serial-killer-turned-hired-assassin. Is Raj right to believe that he is being hunted or is it his past that has finally borne down to him? Where does life leave the larger-than-life, and how does power destroy its pursuers? At once a multi-layered mystery, a novel of ideas, a satire exploring the place of the writer within contemporary life, and a love story that unfolds in three parts, Derangements presents a world where you have to discern the shadows from the ghosts, the paranoia from the persecution, and the fiction from the actual.
