'Amit Chaudhuri has, like Proust, perfected the art of the moment. [he] is a miniaturist, for whom tiny moments become radiant, and for whom the complexities of the fleeting mood uncurl onto the page like a leaf, a petal.' - Hilary Mantel
A novelist who is also named Amit Chaudhuri visits his childhood home of Bombay - a setting reeling from the 2008 terrorist attacks - and finds himself preoccupied with the absence of his opaque and drifting childhood friend Ramu. Chaudhuri is a favourite of James Wood, Anne Enright and Jonathan Coe.
