Temporary People — Temporary People

₹380

Winner of The Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant WritingWinner of The Hindu PrizeBest Books of 2017: Booklist, Kirkus, San Francisco Chronicle"Guest workers of the United Arab Emirates embody multiple worlds and identities and long for home in a fantastical debut work of fiction, winner of the inaugural Restless Books Prize for New Immigrant Writing.… An enchanting, unparalleled anthem of displacement and repatriation." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewIn the United Arab Emirates, foreign nationals constitute over 80 percent of the population. Brought in to construct and serve the towering monuments to wealth that punctuate the skylines of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, this labor force is not given the option of citizenship. Some ride their luck to good fortune. Others suffer different fates. Until now, the humanitarian crisis of the so-called “guest workers” of the Gulf has barely been addressed in fiction. With his stunning, mind-altering debut novel Temporary People, Deepak Unnikrishnan delves into their histories, myths, struggles, and triumphs. Combining the linguistic invention of Salman Rushdie and the satirical vision of George Saunders, Unnikrishnan presents twenty-eight linked stories that careen from construction workers who shapeshift into luggage and escape a labor camp, to a woman who stitches back together the bodies of those who’ve fallen from buildings in progress, to a man who grows ideal workers designed to live twelve years and then perish—until they don’t, and found a rebel community in the desert. With this polyphony of voices, Unnikrishnan maps a new, unruly global English and gives personhood back to the anonymous workers of the Gulf.

Sufi The Invisible Man of the Underworld — Sufi The Invisible Man of the Underworld

₹390

1950s, Bombay: Two dirt-poor teenagers grew up on the bleak streets of Dongri, a muslim ghetto notorious for incubating underworld criminals like Karim Lala, Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim. Thanks to a kindly mentor, one of the teenagers went on to become the national-award winning author & painter Aabid Surti. The other, guided by a corrupt police officer, took to a life of easy crime, and went on to become one the most wanted smugglers of ‘60s. He was nicknamed ‘the Sufi’ because though he made millions off his schemes, he had a rule that he didn’t smoke, drink or kill anyone. Both young men fell in love at the same time and watched their first love affair end dramatically. Both, coincidentally, went on to marry women with the same first name and settled down in the same prosperous suburb of the city a few blocks from each other. Thirty years later, the two met for the first time. As they retraced their magical parallel journeys, one can only wonder whether our lives are truly shaped by our circumstances or by our choices. The fast-paced thriller also gives clues to the unknown mastermind behind the 1960s gold smuggling racket – the son of a former Indian politician, who played a significant role in the Sufi’s rise and fall. This Kindle version ends with the only published interview of the ‘Sufi’ – revealing his real identity and plans ahead. Originally published in Gujarati language in 1986, the book became a cult classic in India and was translated into Kannada, Marathi, Hindi and English. Efforts are underway to produce a big-budget Hindi-language feature film based on the book.
