Smart, devastating, unpredictable. . . . I suggest you go out and buy this one. Post haste.” —Fiona Maazel, The New York Times Book Review “Brilliant.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal “[Mahajan’s] eagerness to go at the bomb from every angle suggests a voracious approach to fiction-making.” —The New Yorker One of the most celebrated novels of recent years, The Association of Small Bombs is an expansive and deeply humane novel that is at once groundbreaking in its empathy, dazzling in its acuity, and ambitious in scope When brothers Tushar and Nakul Khurana, two Delhi schoolboys, pick up their family’s television set at a repair shop with their friend Mansoor Ahmed one day in 1996, disaster strikes without warning. A bomb—one of the many “small” bombs that go off seemingly unheralded across the world—detonates in the Delhi marketplace, instantly claiming the lives of the Khurana boys, to the devastation of their parents. Mansoor survives, bearing the physical and psychological effects of the bomb. After a brief stint at university in America, Mansoor returns to Delhi, where his life becomes entangled with the mysterious and charismatic Ayub, a fearless young activist whose own allegiances and beliefs are more malleable than Mansoor could imagine. Woven among the story of the Khuranas and the Ahmeds is the gripping tale of Shockie, a Kashmiri bomb maker who has forsaken his own life for the independence of his homeland. Karan Mahajan writes brilliantly about the effects of terrorism on victims and perpetrators, proving himself to be one of the most provocative and dynamic novelists of his generation.

La moglie sbagliata

By: Karan Mahajan

Rakesh Ahuja è seduto nella tenda matrimoniale e aspetta la futura sposa. L’ha vista solo una volta, quando è andato a incontrarla nella casa dei suoi genitori. Ma non appena la ragazza si accomoda accanto a lui, dietro le frange d’oro Rakesh scorge occhi diversi da quelli della donna che aveva scelto. Rakesh è come paralizzato, ma sa che ormai è tardi per tirarsi indietro, il disonore sarebbe troppo grande. I due girano intorno al fuoco rituale: ora sono marito e moglie e si dovranno amare. Molti anni sono passati da quel giorno e, nonostante tutto, tredici figli si sono susseguiti uno dietro l’altro. Tredici bambini che combattono senza sosta per avere le attenzioni di un padre spesso assente. Un padre che si dedica con maggiore impegno alla sua carica di ministro dello Sviluppo urbano e alla costruzione dei cavalcavia che stanno invadendo New Delhi, piuttosto che allo sciame di ragazzini che lo insegue ogni mattina. L’unico per cui Rakesh è disposto a fare un’eccezione è Arjun, il più grande, un sedicenne ribelle negli occhi del quale Rakesh rivede il fuoco di un amore segreto, un amore di cui nessuno più si ricorda, tranne lui.
