The man has returned to the award with a novel, 53 -year -old Kiran Desai, with a novel about two Indians who navigated life in the US, with a novel. Indian American writer, who became the youngest winner of the award with his second novel ‘The Inheritance of Loss’ in 2006, is now among the 13 authors for the literary trophy.Her mother Anita Desai – with whom she shares a legacy, not a loss but a fine storytelling – has been shortlisted three times for the booker, but never won. After her victory, Kiran admitted the debt: “I wrote this book so much in my mother’s company that it almost feels like her book.” While two crafts are very different literary landscapes, they have many things the same, including the habit of writing in Mexican villages. 88 -year -old Anita’s last novel ‘Rosarita’, which was released last year, was also set in Mexico.Kiran’s prolonged ‘The Lonelineness of Sonia and Sunny’ which will be out in the sept, has taken almost two decades to take shape. By her own entry, she slowly writes, combining her novels together like a puzzle. By promo, the story seems to be almost filmy: a love story about two youths that first see each other in a train. But, as usual, she is alert to her role in a broad world, discovering subjects such as migration, modernity and complex bonds that connect a generation to the next.“Intimate in its details, the epic in its access,” how Mansi Subramaniam, Editor -in -Chief of Penguin Random House India, describes it. “While it is about the weight of family love, the violence of the class and the pain of displacement, it is sharp, funny, tragic and endless stunning,” Says Subramaniam.
