The Master Of Unfinished Things by Geet Chaturvedi; Translated by Anita Gopalan [Paperback]

A riveting collection of memoirs, essays and random musings, The Master of Unfinished Things showcases the voice of Hindi literary maestro Geet Chaturvedi, brought to life in English by Anita Gopalan.

Through these heartfelt memoirs, Geet explores his relationship with books, writers, cricket and nature, much of it rooted in Mumbai, the city of his heart. Thoughtful essays grapple with questions about writing, identity and memory, blending introspection, myths and anecdotes. Diary entries, short prose and poetry offer deeply contemplative, standalone moments―each one a complete story in itself. Interestingly, the final essay is a meditation on the art and inevitability of incompleteness. This beautifully crafted turn lends the book a paradoxically perfect conclusion and leaves us fulfilled amidst unfinished endings
