Brother and sister Tanay and Anuja both fall in love with the same man, an artist lodging in their family home in Pune, in western India. He seems like the perfect tenant, ready with the rent and happy to listen to their mother's musings on the imminent collapse of Indian culture. But he's also a man of mystery. He has no last name. He has no family, no friends, no history, and no plans for the future. When he runs away with Anuja, he overturns the family's lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTranslated from the Marathi by acclaimed novelist and critic Jerry Pinto, Sachin Kundalkar's elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare novel explores the disruption of a traditional family by a free-spirited stranger in order to examine a generation in transition. Intimate, moving, sensual, and wry in its portrait of young love, Cobalt Blue is a frank and lyrical exploration of gay life in India that recalls the work of Edmund White and Alan Hollinghurst--of people living in emotional isolation, attempting to find long-term intimacy in relationships that until recently were barely conceivable to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sachin Kundalkar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1620971755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781620971758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/06\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016 pg. 25","brand":"Sachin Kundalkar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43979410833663,"sku":"9781620971758","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cda482f-d997-4c58-ac66-d14e7745f361.jpg?v=1683245391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cobalt-blue-sachin-kundalkar-9781620971758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
