A new world

Edición de la obra A new world

"Jayojit's marriage has failed, his wife of eleven years is now living with her doctor. A year of divorce courts and Jayojit, a semi-successful writer and economist, has finally retrieved his son Bonny for his summer holidays. They are leaving their home in the American Midwest and going back to Calcutta, to his grandparents: the Admiral and his wife.". "A New World watches Jayojit and his son as they share the dark, close flat with his parents while the city outside is blanketed in fierce summer heat. The streets vibrate with the sounds of car horns and the taped raags of wedding celebrations as Jayojit tries to write and remembers his married life in America. Bonny plays with tired plastic dinosaurs under the furniture and the Admiral looks at his family quizzically, his wife filling the silence with solicitudes and indifferent cooking."--BOOK JACKET.
