Description
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
The November Month indulges you into two books that are amazingly lucid to delve into how we all behave (or hide) what we think or believe in.
It takes so much of ourselves to hide and so little to reveal and stories that bring this kind of impact on our reading are the stories that are not popular or rarely told. So this November, as the autumn sets in and the chill rises gradually, indulge in some soul searching reads.

- Sakina’s Kiss by Vivek Shanbhag is a signed copy in hardback. The story takes in the ordinary lives of a couple and their daughter with extraordinary insights. Three seminal events constitute the plot: the frantic search of Venkataramana and his wife for the missing Rekha, their only daughter; the mysterious disappearance of Ramana, the younger brother of Venkataramana’s mother; and the supposed theft that has taken place in our narrator’s house. Exquisitely translated from the Kannada by Srinath Perur, Sakina’s Kiss is a delicate, precise meditation on the persistence of old biases―and a rattled masculinity―in India’s changing social and political landscape.
- For Now it is Night by Hari Krishna Kaul is a paperback book. Hari Krishna Kaul, one of the most celebrated Kashmiri writers, published most of his work between 1972 and 2000. His short stories, shaped by the social crisis and political instability in Kashmir, explore – with a keen eye for detail, biting wit, and deep empathy – themes of isolation, individual and collective alienation, corruption, and the social mores of a community that experienced a loss of homeland, culture, and language. Brilliantly translated in a unique collaborative project, For Now, It Is Night brings a comprehensive selection of Kaul’s stories to English readers for the first time. 17 lively short stories provide an irreverent examination of exile, drawn from the ever-observant pen of one of Kashmir’s most celebrated writers.
