Beskrivning
A finalist for the Man Asian Literary Prize, Between Clay and Dust is a moving and beautifully told story set in the tumultuous days after the Partition of India and Pakistan, about a wrestling champion and a courtesan struggling to hold onto the world they knew amidst the eruptions of history. They are both beloved paragons of a world that no longer exists, in a bewildering new reality indifferent to their art.

Recensioner i media

“Musharraf Ali Farooqi is the angel of history. The storm called progress is blowing him into the future. It is piling wreckage at his feet, but there is so much to be done between clay and dust: As this marvelous novel shows, language is to be practiced with the rigor of style; gesture supported by graciousness; ordinary life to be rescued by ritual; and nostalgia distilled into knowledge.”—Amitava Kumar, author of Lunch with a Bigot and A Matter of Rats
