The Artist of Disappearance By Desai, Anita $26.74 Written late in Anita Desais illustrious career, these three novellas ruminate on art and memory, illusion and disillusion, and the sharp divide between lifes expectations and dreams and its realities. Set in India in the not too distant past, the stories diverse surroundings and dramas frame universal themes, which illuminate the ways in which various aspects of the Indian culture can nourish or suffocate. All are served up with Desais characteristic perspicuity, subtle humor and quiet, sensitive writing. Overwhelmed by their own lack of purpose, the men and women who populate these tales set out on unexpected journeys that present them with a fresh sense hope and opportunity. In The Museum of Final Journeys, a bored and officious junior civil servant imagines hes about to discover a museum filled with priceless treasures; in Translation, a middleaged woman has the chance to translate an unknown writer and in the process, impress the woman she most admires; in The Artist of Disappearance, adocumentary film crew, looking to expose the ecological havoc of illegal mining and logging, stumbles upon an artistic creation of unspeakable beauty, hidden from the world by its creator, a local recluse. But these are not heroic characters, and when confronted with defining moments, they struggle against their circumstances, their passivity and the disappointments of their daily lives, like so many flies in a spiders web. An impeccable craftsman, Desai remains evenhanded, elegantly setting the stage for all attendant human frailties to play out. Author: Desai, Anita Subtitle: Three Novelas Publication Date: 2011/12/06 Number of Pages: 156 Binding Type: Hardcover Language: English Depth: 0.75 Width: 5.75 Height: 8.50 |
