'Mercurial, witty, luminous' - DEVIKA REGE 'Thayil's masterpiece' - WILLIAM DALRYMPLE Jeet Thayil's The Elsewhereans is a genre-defying novel that melds fiction, travelogue, memoir, a ghost story, a family saga, photographs and much else into a tale that unfolds across continents and decades. From the backwaters of Kerala to the streets of Bombay, Hong Kong, Paris and beyond, Thayil maps the restless lives of those shaped by separation - both the ones who leave and the ones left behind. A hypnotic meditation on migration, loss, and the fragile threads of identity from one of the most brilliant voices in contemporary literature, The Elsewhereans is a novel of retrieval and reinvention - an elegy for vanished worlds, and a reckoning with the histories we inherit.
