Reviews

‘This is a book that blends genres and defies description. Its style is deceptively playful but it conceals as much as it reveals the horrors beneath the surface’ JERRY PINTO

‘There’s music, sex, the scent of forgotten flowers and the search for lost mothers. Taboo is a stylised, lyrical, often macabre urban adventure about love, abandonment, power and the persistence of memory. Audaciously defying boundaries to weave in and out of genres, languages, cultures, myths and realities, it tells a remarkable story of today’s India and its people’ ANTARA DEV SEN

‘Taboo travels between places, languages, and characters to map a searing and humane story’ HANSDA SOWVENDRA SHEKHAR
