Dour by Samaresh Majumdar [Hardcover]

The horse racing field, the Anglo-Indian prostitute's flat, the decadent lifestyle of the upper echelons of society, the love-games of modern youth—these depict one side of the story, while on the other hand, the novel paints a unique picture of the middle-class race towards achieving their goals, filled with hopes, aspirations, disappointments, and suffering. This is brilliantly depicted in the cinematic adaptation of Samaresh Majumdar's ambitious novel.
