Original price was: ₹499.00.Current price is: ₹349.00.

The stories of Songs Our Bodies Sing are set at these points of intersection. What they reveal are commonalities rather than differences, with protagonists on opposite sides of an imaginary divide, trapped in boxes of their own making.

This collection pulls back a curtain ever so slightly, in ways that are strange yet tender, to show how our struggles to understand the human condition are the same, wherever we are.

Description

A heartbroken father in London turns to the Beatles to make sense of what he has lost. An antique dealer in Bombay rejects jingoism in favour of racism. Two immigrants in Toronto look for ways of belonging with a local rock band. And, in Paris, a tourist rejects long-held ideas about trust.

The East and West have clashed in innumerable ways since each first acknowledged the existence of the other.
