 Description:

In “A Day in the Life” by Anjum Hasan, immerse yourself in the lives of quixotic nonconformists in small towns and young newly-weds striving to keep pace with the changing times. From a forlorn retiree grappling with contemporary anger to the endearing bond between a middle-class woman and her maid, these fourteen expertly crafted stories offer glimpses into the daily lives of a diverse array of characters. Hasan’s protagonists, with their inward-looking, whimsical, and vulnerable natures, find themselves as outliers in the shifting landscape of a new order. As we journey with them, we ponder their origins, their destinies, and their place in the world.

With a quietly devastating and subtly subversive tone, Hasan’s writing is wonderfully wry, leaving a lasting impact on readers. Her authentic and home-grown talent makes “A Day in the Life” an address of choice for those seeking genuine and compelling Indian fiction.
