Yiyun Li A middle-class couple in Bengaluru, Venkat and Viji, find their quiet life upended - and the flaws in their marriage exposed - when two strange young men come knocking at their door one evening, claiming to have business with their daughter, Rekha.

A taut story of hidden violence and self-deception from "an Indian Chekhov" (Suketu Mehta)An upper-middle class couple in Bangalore, Venkat and Viji, find their quiet life upended--and the flaws in their marriage exposed--when two strange young men come knocking at their door in the middle of the night, claiming to have business with their daughter, Rekha, a college senior who happens to be visiting relatives in the countryside. Venkat--a narrator whose account of his marriage, and of the lives of his wife and daughter, we soon learn to doubt--sends the boys away, but they come back the next day, and now they're not alone.While Venkat begins to fear for his daughter's safety, he is haunted by the memory of a betrayal and disappearance from long ago. As his guilt-ridden imagination leaps between knowing and unknowing, evasion and confrontation, Shanbhag reveals not just the tensions in a marriage or a family, but also the polarization of Indian politics and the resurgence of the Hindu right.Precise, enigmatic, and suspenseful, Sakina's Kiss fulfills the promise of Vivek Shanbhag's lauded debut, Ghachar Ghochar, which Parul Sehgal called "A great Indian novel...elegant, lean, balletic" (The New York Times).

Uzun suredir yalniz olan biri icin bu kadar insan dozu kaldirilamayacak boyutta yormustu onu. Insanlar durmadan dusunuyor ve bu dusuncelerle bir suru yogun duygular yaratiyordu. Selen ise herkesi hissedebiliyordu. Gunlerdir cevresinde olan insanlar pisman, uzgun ya da kizgindi ve bu duygular fazla yogunlasirsa bir insani oldurmeye yeterliydi.
Here is a thorough critical re-examination of the Edwardian master of the darkly humorous short story, Saki (the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro, 1870-1916). Saki the satirist constantly rebelled against but depended upon the world of H.H. Munro, the gentleman bachelor. In reassessing the importance of post-Wilde sexuality, anti-suffragist feelings, and attitudes towards Jews and Slavs in Saki's oeuvre, it becomes clear that the fiction of Saki reflects a fervid imperial masculinity in Britain as World War I approached. The tension between rebellious sexual politics and pro-patriarchy, nationalist views in Saki's fiction reflects a time when the old, manly, bourgeois traditions of coming home from work to "the angel of the hearth" and defending King and Country abroad increasingly clashed with new sexual identities, women's agitation for the vote, and the growing presence of non-British Others in the public imagination.
