For forty years Prem Babu made certain that other people's words arrived. One letter did not, and he is the reason it did not. Now, with ten months left and a house gone quiet, he sets out to find the child that letter was addressed to, who is a grown man somewhere and does not know he was ever written to. What Prem Babu learns on the way is that a wrong address, maintained long enough and with enough care, becomes a kind of love, and that it still has to be answered for.

Manu Vishranti

A school register, a ten-rupee note, a question asked every Sunday for twenty-four years. Manu Vishranti writes about the small objects a family uses to carry what it cannot say aloud. He works in English and in Hindi, building each version from the ground up rather than translating, on the understanding that a language is a way of noticing and not a set of equivalents. He also writes on meditation. The Five Wounds, five novels and one companion volume, is his first published work of fiction.
