Description: A Passage North by Anuk Arudpragasam Written with precision and grace, Anuk Arudpragasams masterful novel is an attempt to come to terms with life in the wake of devastation, and a poignant memorial for those lost and those still alive. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Long-listed for the Booker Prize 2021, A Passage North begins with a message from out of the blue: a telephone call informing Krishan that his grandmothers caretaker, Rani, has died under unexpected circumstances-found at the bottom of a well in her village in the north, her neck broken by the fall. The news arrives on the heels of an email from Anjum, an impassioned yet aloof activist Krishnan fell in love with years before while living in Delhi, stirring old memories and desires from a world he left behind.As Krishan makes the long journey by train from Colombo into the war-torn Northern Province for Ranis funeral, so begins an astonishing passage into the innermost reaches of a country. At once a powerful meditation on absence and longing, as well as an unsparing account of the legacy of Sri Lankas thirty-year civil war, this procession to a pyre at the end of the earth lays bare the imprints of an islands past and the unattainable distances between who we are and what we seek. Author Biography Anuk Arudpragasam was born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and moved to the United States at the age of eighteen, where he attended Stanford and Columbia Universities. His first novel, The Story of a Brief Marriage, was translated into six languages, won the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature and was shortlisted for the Dylan Thomas Prize. Review A novel of tragic power and uncommon beauty. In his depiction of the processes through which history sculpts human fate, Anuk Arudpragasam achieves something akin to grace -- Anthony Marra, author of the New York Times bestseller A Constellation of Vital Phenomena Details ISBN0670094897 Author Anuk Arudpragasam Pages 304 Publisher Penguin Random House India Year 2021 ISBN-13 9780670094899 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2021-07-01 Country of Publication India DEWEY 823.92 Audience General Imprint Penguin Hamish Hamilton Subtitle A Novel We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
