Rupture by Sampurna Chattarji

She is running on dream walkways into the day that will dawn bright, like any other, hanging by a thread on a piece of news, a pendulum swinging from now to then, before to after, panic to peace to panic, capital to city, city to suburb, remembering to forgetting . . .

In the course of twenty-four hours, nine characters across five cities are faced with a pressing need to examine their past. As each of them confronts the realities within, the world itself explodes into chaos, the disintegration of civic order mirroring the breakdown of individual sanities.

A powerful first novel from a critically acclaimed poet, translator and fiction-writer, Rupture is a book in which every word, every emotion resonates with a heightened sense of intensity. Sampurna Chattarji brings to her writing a poetry and potency that is rare, and the sheer pace of the narrative pulls the reader in with its urgency.

English, August by Upamanyu Chatterjee

‘Agastya's story is convincing, entertaining, moving—and timeless. It merits an accolade that's far harder to earn than "authentic." It’s a classic'

— The New York Times

Agastya Sen is a young Indian civil servant whose imagination is dominated by women, literature and soft drugs.

As the novel opens he has been posted to the small provincial town of Madna.

First published in 1988, English, August, a funny, wryly observed account of Agastya Sen's year in the sticks, is a cult classic.

The Last Salute (Shesh Namaskar) by Santosh Kumar Ghosh

Shesh Namaskar is the story of a young man, basically innocent but now gone astray. In his ruthless search for a meaning of life, there is a sadness that both ennobles and elevates the mind. Shesh Namaskar is written in the form of a series of letters from a son to his mother who had left home, never to return, when the son had accused her of being unfaithful when he was younger. Through these letters he finds way of discovering his own self. As a last tribute of reverence, he seeks forgiveness from his mother just before his death. This outstanding novel published in 1971 won the Sahitya Akademi Award in 1972.

Turbulence by Samit Basu

'You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gasp and you will demand a sequel'

BEN AARONOVITCH (Doctor Who)

'For wicked wit, for post-modern superheroics, for sheer verbal energy and dazzle, Samit Basu doesn't so much push the envelope as fold it into an n-dimensional hyper-envelope, address it to your hind-brain and mail it with a rail gun'

MIKE CAREY

(X-Men, Lucifer, the Felix Castor series)

How would you feel if you got what you really wanted? What would you do if you were given the power to change the world?

Everyone on BA flight 142 from London to Delhi got off it with a unique superpower. A power they didn't even know they wanted. Everyone, that is, who's still alive. Because someone is hunting down the passengers.

And now Aman Sen's ragtag collective of rogue superhumans is in grave danger. They must decide what to do with their powers and their lives — and quickly.

This explosive new blockbuster moves at hyperspeed across two continents as colliding forces move towards an action-packed finale that will leave the world — and you — changed forever.
