[Reader-list] Fw: Invitation to Anjum Hasan's Book Release in Delhi

[Daisy Hasan]

Dear All,
 
Forwarding an invite on behalf of Anjum Hasan. Apologies for cross posting
Cheers,
Daisy 

Dear friends, 


 
Here comes my new novel Neti, Neti, launching in Delhi on October 4 (7 pm at Haze Blues and Jazz Bar, 8 Basant Lok, Community Centre, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, 110 057) . There will be a performance by the Blues band, Soulmate.  
 
Perhaps you'll be in Delhi on that day, pass this on to friends, put it on your FaceBook, put it on your blog, send good vibrations Delhi-wards, or, most most importantly, read the novel. 
 
So please see the attachment and thanks for your support! A little about the book below. 
 
Cheers,
Anjum 
 

About Neti, Neti
 

Twenty-five-year-old Sophie Das has moved from Shillong to Bangalore in search of work, fun and liberty. Neti, Neti follows Sophie and her free-spirited friends through offices, pubs, call centres, night streets, shopping malls, rock concerts, and the homes of Bangalore’s newly rich, as Sophie starts to feel more and more alienated in the money-mad city. 
  
A horrific murder sends her back to her hometown, where her Hamlet-quoting father and increasingly religious mother are chasing their separate dreams. Will Sophie be able to pull back from the brink and find herself a home? 
  
'Anjum Hasan is one of the most suggestive and subtle Indian writers of her generation, unusually aware of the weight, meaning, and resonances of words. Whether as a novelist, poet, or essayist, she displays an unexpected combination of shrewd noticing and poetic insight about how small-town imaginings and cosmopolitan sophistication flow in and out of each other.'
