Author: RAJESH PARAMESWARAN
Title: I am an executioner
Description: Bloomsbury, 2012. Paperback. Pp: 259. An explosive fiction debut from an astonishing new voice: darkly funny, wildly original stories about the power of love, and the love of power-two urgent human desires that inevitably, and often calamitously, intertwine. The unforgettable opener, "The Infamous Bengal Ming," is narrated by a misunderstood tiger whose affection for his keeper goes horribly awry. In "Demons," a woman tries to celebrate Thanksgiving after the sudden death of her husband, even though his corpse is still sprawled on their living-room floor. In "The Strange Career of Dr. Raju Gopalarajan," an ex-CompUSA employee sets up a medical practice in a suburban strip mall armed only with textbooks from the local library and fake business cards. The heroes-and anti-heroes-of I Am An Executioner include a railroad manager in a turn-of-the-century Indian village, the newlywed executioner of the title, and an elephant writing her autobiography-the creations of a riotous, singular imagination that promises to dazzle the universe of American fiction. ISBN: 9781408825747. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
