PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
'The most unexpected and original Indian writer of his generation.' -- Salman Rushdie '[Dasgupta has] a gift for sentences of lancing power and beauty.' New Yorker 'Fascinating...Solo is unforgettable in its humanity.' Guardian 'A beautifully written portrait of a corrupt, violent and traumatised city growing so fast it is almost unrecognisable to its own inhabitants. An astonishing tour de force by a major writer at the peak of his powers.' -- William Dalrymple 'The interviews at the core of the book are a cleverly tangential way to investigate a city that is among the world's largest - about 22m people live in and around Delhi - and has been made a microcosm of India by the hundreds of thousands who arrive each year as migrants.' Financial Times
