{"product_id":"maps-for-a-mortal-moon-adil-jussawalla-9789382277675","title":"Maps for a Mortal Moon","description":"Poignant, witty, melancholic and intense, this is the best of four decades of prose from one of India's masters of the written word. The worst thing about being a human being is being a human being. 'I wish I was bird', as the railway clerk in Nissim Ezekiel's poem says. But if I were, the worst thing about being a bird would be being a bird. Welcome to the world of Adil Jussawalla, poet, columnist, critic. The essays and entertainments collected in this volume take in everything from language to poetry, from ethics to model aero planes, from death and addiction to travel and alienation. In these pages, you will meet poets, novelists, construction labourers, gamblers and, most startlingly, Jussawalla himself as a boy who lost himself at the movies as the acned adolescent on a ship watching a storm at sea as the flaneur of South Mumbai. Poignant, witty, melancholic and intense, this is the best of four decades of prose from one of India's masters of the written word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adil Jussawalla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9382277676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789382277675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.81d","brand":"Adil Jussawalla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079629664511,"sku":"9789382277675","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cad9d66-c0ee-48b7-80c5-f186b066b7ad.jpg?v=1685482237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maps-for-a-mortal-moon-adil-jussawalla-9789382277675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
