An interview with the last speaker of a language. A chronicle of the final seven days of a town that is about to be razed to the ground by an invading army. The lonely voyage of an elephant, from Kerala to a princess's palace in Morocco. A fabled cook who flavours his food with precious stones. A coterie of international diplomats trapped in near-Earth orbit. A stunning collection of short stories from a remarkable new writer.
Meilleur recueil de nouvelles
The most beautiful book of short stories that I ever read so far. This is how much I love it. Kanish Tharoor will speak about many subjects : the last speaker of a language suddenly approached by ethnologists eager to record her but disturbing her life by their visit, an unarmed city about to be attacked wondering what to do with the few days before death, a world where States do not exist anymore and their ghost leaders are playing in outer of space … Each one of these stories is told with graceful, sensitive writing that will ultimately touch you right in the heart of your soul.
Indisputable masterpiece.
