Welcome to Litsy!

The book is well written and the plot interesting but somehow I didn‘t like it as much. Deven,a Hindi professor who is an Urdu poetry lover decides to record the works of a distinguished Urdu poet Nur. In doing so, he becomes not only the custodian of Nur‘s verse and genius but also of all his personal problems.
I liked the part abt Deven and Murad‘s friendship as it depicts how even old friendships can be toxic and survive only because of habit.

Finally my June haul😻 I wanted to read more classics and a few contemporaries so here I am. With courts re-opening I am not able to read as much as I want but that doesn‘t stop me from hoarding. 😅

Anyone spotting any favourites or any recommendations?

A big surprise of 2019. Wanted to read something by anita desai and In Custody was shortlisted for the man booker. A teacher goes to interview a poet and what turns out is extraordinary tale of passion and pain.
