No God In Sight
By Altaf Tyrewala
Penguin, Rs195
This is the Maximum City, mad at times, indifferent always. And yet it finds itself inspiring the urban poet, over and over again.
Joining the gang of the Mumbai-inspired, is first time writer Altaf Tyrewala's No God in Sight. This new kid on the block proves that precedence is not always bad!
Altaf riffles through the first person account of one city slicker to another.
The plot centres around a poetess who has ceased to be, a gangster rising to his rival's challange of his rival, or an abortionist who can't shut the noise of unborn babies.
And all seem to hail from Mombay...no... Bumbai...basically somewhere in between Bombay and Mumbai. Like Author, Like Characters!
This existential fiction from Penguin is your companion on a lazy-introspective-Sunday.
