Colombo

In the heyday of steamships and ocean travel in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, at a time when the sun did not set on the British Empire, Colombo was a major link between East and West. On the voyage from Europe to Australia, the city was the last port of call before ships made the long and humdrum voyage down under. It was also the primary port for reloading coal and supplies for ships heading to Japan and China.

Colombo: Port of Call is an attempt to look at Colombo and Sri Lanka through the stories of well-known international figures who visited the port. People like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Don Bradman, Anton Chekhov, Mark Twain and Mahatma Gandhi were among the many who visited Sri Lanka and left behind their impressions of the land.

Deftly narrated, this book is a social document recording the racial hierarchies and imperialist impressions of some of the visitors and a throwback to a nostalgic era of luxury hotels, high tea and much else.

The Land and the Shadows

Cinema, for Perumal Murugan, was never just flickering images on a screen. It was a field of experience, a gathering ground, a mirror held up to the land itself. In The Land and the Shadows, he returns to the theatres of his youth and to the decades when Tamil cinema became inseparable from the life of the people—the 1950s through the 1970s.

Here, he recalls his boyhood labour in a small-town cinema hall, the thrill of posters and projectors, the songs carried on village winds. From those vivid fragments, Murugan opens out a portrait of Tamil society in transition, where poverty and caste met desire and aspiration in the common darkness of the theatre. The screen was both escape and education, its heroes and heroines shaping speech, gesture and imagination across class and community.

Part memoir, part ethnography, this is a record of a world that has almost vanished—those public spaces where lives once overlapped, where cinema forged unlikely intimacies and collective dreams. Murugan’s voice, at once personal and self-effacing, turns memory into history, and history into story.

Translated with fidelity and grace by Gita Subramanian, The Land and the Shadows brings us Perumal Murugan in a new key: as witness to cinema’s place in the making of modern Tamil Nadu, and as chronicler of a society learning to see itself in the play of light and shadow.

I Cannot Say Goodbye to You

From one of India’s favorite poets comes his first romance novel—a story that will stay with you forever.

What if you were forced to say goodbye to the only person who ever loved you?

When Aashna loses everything and her parents refuse to love her, she is sent to boarding school.

Eventually, she realizes she had left her heart open, and someone decides to break into it—a tall, handsome (a bit too much), straight-out-of-the-movies guy who loves her with his whole heart.

But every time she goes back home, she meets an absence that will not let her sleep and a nightmare of a presence. Painfully tired of the hurt, she becomes what her mother could never be: a leaver.

With off-the-charts chemistry, witty conversations, and unexpected plot twists, I Cannot Say Goodbye to You is the story of Aashna and the people she loves (and loses).

P.S. Keep a tissue box nearby, since, you know, Rithvik wrote this novel.
