Inspired by the legend of Abu Hathim, aging don of Vanity Bagh, Imran Jabbari and his friends form a gang called 51⁄2 Men in their mohalla of Vanity Bagh. They are hired to dispense a batch of stolen scooters to different corners of the city; not until the city rocks with scooter bombs does Imran realize that they have been involved in a terrorist act. One of the prime accused in the 11/11 serial blasts, Imran is destined to live in captivity for the next fourteen years. He kills time plotting jailbreak until he is assigned to the bookmaking section of the prison. The new job equips him with a new facility: each time he opens a book and stares at its blank pages, he sees them scribbled with tales from Vanity Bagh. Imran thus traces the history of animosity between Vanity Bagh, nicknamed Little Pakistan, and Mehendi, a Hindu neighbourhood.The solitude and reflection that characterize Imran’s narrative is undercut by communal tension and a simmering violence. Touched with a wistful small-town feeling in the midst of a teeming city, Vanity Bagh is a darkly comic tale.

Comment rompre avec l'ennui quand on est jeune à Vanity Bagh, quartier musulman délaissé d'une ville anonyme de l'Inde, sinon en créant une bande aussi redoutable que redoutée ? Mais le gang des «5 1/2», ainsi nommé en raison du mutisme de l'un des siens, ne se signale que par de bien piètres débuts que tentent de compenser des soirées entières passées, près de la mosquée, à rêver de coups d'éclat, sous le regard noir de l'imam qui n'est autre que le père du jeune Imran, narrateur du roman. Un soir, enfin, alors que les 5 1/2 désoeuvrés se sont réunis pour visionner un film pornographique, se présente un certain Qadir, lequel leur propose de convoyer sur des scooters de prétendus lingots d'or à déposer dans la partie hindoue de la ville où se révélera leur véritable nature. Arrêté pour terrorisme, Imran écope d'une lourde peine de prison. Au fil du fastidieux travail de reliure qui lui a été assigné, il découvre qu'il peut échapper à la réalité carcérale en faisant surgir des feuilles vierges des cahiers, dont il est chargé de coller la tranche, toute l'histoire du quartier aimé où il a grandi. A travers la reconstitution par Imran de cette vie «d'avant», Anees Salim invite le lecteur à pénétrer le quotidien, rarement exploré dans les littératures de l'Inde, d'une communauté musulmane. Roman noir, chronique des laissés-pour-compte et florilège de citations (de Gandhi à Sylvester Stallone), cet ovni littéraire, qui retrace l'itinéraire de destins confisqués, est aussi un magnifique hommage rendu aux pouvoirs de l'imaginaire et de la fiction.

Today, Indian writing in English is a fi eld of study that cannot be overlooked. Whereas at the turn of the 20th century, writers from India who chose to write in English were either unheeded or underrated, with time the literary world has been forced to recognize and accept their contribution to the corpus of world literatures in English. Showcasing the burgeoning field of Indian English writing, this encyclopedia documents the poets, novelists, essayists, and dramatists of Indian origin since the pre-independence era and their dedicated works. Written by internationally recognized scholars, this comprehensive reference book explores the history and development of Indian writers, their major contributions, and the critical reception accorded to them. The Routledge Encyclopedia of Indian Writing in English will be a valuable resource to students, teachers, and academics navigating the vast area of contemporary world literature.

Imram Jabbari ist für die nächsten sechzehn Jahre im Gefängnis, daran ist nicht zu rütteln. In der Buchbinderei zur Arbeit verdonnert, füllt er die leeren Seiten in Gedanken mit seiner Lebensgeschichte. Er denkt zurück an seine Heimatstadt, an die rivalisierenden Hindu- und Muslimviertel. Hier wollen Imran und seine Freunde berühmt und gefürchtet werden, so wie die großen Gangsterbosse. Mit ihrer Bande »Fünfeinhalb Männer« versuchen sie, sich im hart umkämpften Viertel einen Namen zu machen. Doch viel Erfahrung im Milieu haben sie nicht gerade, und schon bald müssen sie lernen, dass ihr Eifer gefährliche Folgen hat. Humorvoll erzählt Salim von schwelenden Konflikten, von jugendlichem Leichtsinn und der Vergänglichkeit des Lebens.

As a thin ribbon of smoke rose from the edge something stirred in me and I slapped the book against the railing until small specks of fire fell to the floor and died down. It was not just a book of baby names. It was an unusual memoir my father was leaving behind, memories condensed into names; memories of many kisses, lovemaking, panting and feeling spent. Can a life be like a jigsaw puzzle, pieces waiting to be conjoined? Like a game of hide-and-seek? Like playing statues? Can memories have colour? Can the sins of the father survive his descendants? In a family - is it a family if they don't know it? - that does not rely on the weakness of memory runs a strange register of names. The odd book of baby names has been custom-made on palace stationery for the patriarch, an eccentric king, one of the last kings of India, who dutifully records in it the name of his every offspring. As he bitterly draws his final breaths, eight of his one hundred rumoured children trace the savage lies of their father and reckon with the burdens of their lineage. Layered with multiple perspectives and cadences, each tale recounted in sharp, tantalizing vignettes, this is a rich tapestry of narratives and a kaleidoscopic journey into the dysfunctional heart of the Indian family. Written with the lightness of comedy and the seriousness of tragedy, the playfulness of an inventive riddle and the intellectual heft of a philosophical undertaking, The Odd Book of Baby Names is Salim's most ambitious novel yet.
