The sooner you understand that, the better you are prepared for the pain and the unhappiness.’ Kushank Purandare is a writer living off the generosity of friends and lovers. There is the ex-flame Aroti, who is now another man’s wife and whom he refuses to pity; Mrs Reghla alias Kaku who has gouged her eyes out; old Kathavte who lives upstairs and beats his daughters; Raghu whom he accompanies to a famine-struck village where gangsters rule the roost. Disillusioned with the lack of certainty and empathy in a world that is largely incoherent and unsalvageable, Kushank drifts about wallowing in his past and doing odd jobs. Written in Marathi, Kiran Nagarkar’s first book, Saat Sakkam Trechalis – with its dark humour and volatile prose is considered a landmark in post-Independence Indian literature. This new edition will introduce the brilliance of Kiran Nagarkar to a new generation of readers.Pages: 320Available in: PaperbackLanguage: EnglishTAGSHarper PerennialFiction
