Free Outgoing by Anupama Chandrasekhar
This book is set in Chennai, southern India. When a well-brought up girl is filmed having sex with a boy in her classroom the video clip spreads like a virus around the technological community, infecting first the local community and then the whole country with a burning moral outrage. The rampant technology of the modern world is set against the natural conservatism of a traditional society.
'Chandrasekhar writes with both economy and power.. remorselessly ratchets up the tension with each short, sharp painful scene' Telegraph'impressive... the play's importance is that it fills a gap in our knowledge - India seen not through sentimental or guilt-ridden colonial eyes, but as it really is: a nation torn between rapid advance and ethical conservatism' Guardian
Anupama Chandrasekhar lives in Chennai, southern India where she has won a number of awards for her short stories and plays. Free Outgoing marks her British debut.
