Sinopsis

Srinivas, an elderly Brahmin, has been living in south London suburb for thirty years. After the death of his son, and later his wife, this lonely man is befriended by an Englishwoman in her sixties, whom he takes into his home. The two form a deep and abiding relationship. But the haven they have created for themselves proves to be a fragile one. Racist violence enters their world and Srinivas’s life changes irrevocably – as does his dream of England as a country of tolerance and equality.

First published in 1972, The Nowhere Man depicts a London convulsed by fear and bitterness. A recent re-appraisal of her work in the Paris Review said: “With The Nowhere Man, Markandaya wrote a British state of the nation novel whose acuteness and depth of understanding , unsung at the time, resounds eerily today.’ Truly shocking, The Nowhere Man is as relevant today as when it was first published almost fifty years ago.

Acerca del autor

Kamala Markandaya (1924 – 2004) was born in Mysore, India. She studied history at Madras University and later worked for a small progressive magazine before moving to London in 1948 in pursuit of a career in journalism. There she began writing. Nectar in a Sieve, her first novel published in 1954, was an international best-seller, translated into 17 languages. The Nowhere Man - originally published in 1972 and the only novel Markandaya wrote about England – describes the everyday racism experienced by immigrants on a South London street. Her 1969 novel, The Coffer Dams, is a prophetic novel set in India about the attempt to tame nature with disastrous results. Her three novels are now available in new editions from Small Axes. An essential figure in the post-colonial cannon.
