After the catastrophic World War III that nearly destroys the human race, the future is now Pangea, run according to The Principles: ‘We will survive as one world, one country, one race.’ True harmony can only exist if everyone genuinely believes in the Pangean way. So, anyone who holds deviant beliefs is ‘washed’ of their memories and implanted with a more Pangean disposition.
Seventeen-year-old Suni is about to begin the perfect Pangean life when her wash is reversed, returning her memories, and she discovers everything she has known about herself is fake. Unable to live that lie, she joins a ragtag group of rebels. On the run, she must come to terms with the man she loved and what he has become, as she struggles to find out who she really is.

Poet, weaver, mystic, saint, Shah Hussein created a stir in sixteenth-century Punjab through his unconventional lifestyle and the subversive power of his poetry. Popularly known as Madho Lal Hussein, after he adopted the name of his young lover and disciple, he remains a beguiling, enigmatic figure: a firebrand whose growing fame was a cause of anxiety for the political elite, a Muslim who fell in love with a Hindu boy and won his heart and devotion, a rebel philosopher who found solace in ignominy.
Deceptively simple and astonishingly relevant, the poems in this magnificent collection are charged with longing, and offer insight into the true nature of love and death, desire and sublimation. Naveed Alam’s lilting translation brings out the verve and allure of Hussein’s verses which continue to be sung and recited over 400 years after his death.
Widely recognised as a prominent, contemporary poet, Sudeep Sen seeks to push the boundaries of the written word with his new work, Erotext. Filled with short, gripping pieces of poetry under the five heads of desire, disease, delusion, dream and downpour, Sudeep shows us that an endless stream of words isn’t required to speak volumes. Displaying his mastery over metre and the barely controlled power of the compact lines, the poetry is intense, moving, captivating and leaves the reader wanting more. Speaking of love, pain, longing, desire, darkness and much more, this collection is a true reflection of contemporary poetry.
