Afternoon Raag by Amit Chaudhuri

Winner of the Encore Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction A beguiling, short and yet sweeping prose-poem, Afternoon Raag is the account of a young Bengali man studying at Oxford University and caught in complicated love triangle. His loneliness and melancholy sharpen his memories of home, which come back to haunt him in vivid, sensory detail. Intensely moving, superbly written, Afternoon Raag is a testimony to the clash of the old and the new; arrivals and departures. With an introduction by James Wood
Amit Chaudhuri is the author of eight novels, including Friend of My Youth, as well as three books of essays, two books of poems, and a collection of short stories. He has been awarded the Commonwealth Literature Prize, the Betty Trask award, the Encore Prize, the LA Times Book Prize and the Sahitya Akademi Award.
