Description
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 a complicated love triangle. His loneliness and melancholy sharpen his memories of home, which come back to haunt him in vivid, sensory detail.
Intensely moving and 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
