Скачать или смотреть Book in Focus | Ravan & Eddie by Kiran Nagarkar

Book in Focus is Tata Literature Live's unofficial book club, where the audience can particpate and chat about a particular book along with authors and contest winners. This year the Book in Focus is Kiran Nagarkar's Ravan & Eddie.

The seminal 1994 novel focussed attention on the lives of residents of Mumbai chawl. Their daily struggles, minor triumphs over things that others take for granted, private lives conducted in public and warily shared community festivals that pop up seasonally are all part of the Nagarkar’s detailed narrative.

And all of this is hilariously described through the lives of two characters Ravan, a Maharashtrian Hindu boy and Eddie, a Roman Catholic, who live in CWD chawl no. 17. Though living on separate floors and leading different lives their disparate worlds are brought together by a quirky twist of fate.

The novel which has endeared itself to millions of readers has received world-wide praise but more importantly is an essential part of Mumbai’s literary landscape.
