But as he grows older, he is haunted by a seemingly random act of violence. Bits and pieces of stories, both half-remembered and imagined, come together in his mind until he arrives at an intricate, interconnected picture of the world where borders and boundaries mean nothing, mere shadow lines that we draw dividing people and nations. Out of a complex web of memories, relationships and images, Amitav Ghosh builds an intensely vivid, funny and moving story. Exposing the idea of the nation state as an illusion, an arbitrary dissection of people, Ghosh depicts the absurd manner in which your home can suddenly become your enemy. 0aBoys xFiction928979 4aBritish xIndia xFiction928980 4aKolkata (India)xFiction928981 4aPolitical fiction928982 4aDomestic fiction928983 4aFiction922897 4aCommunalismxIndiaxFiction928984 4aMemoryxFiction928985 4aFamiliesxIndiaxFiction928986  cBK  c39278d39278  00104070aCLIBbCLIBcIITRPRd2026-08-19eTechnical Bureau India PVT.
