Description : A bomb explodes in a university cafe, claiming the lives of nineteen students. Geetanjall Shree's poignant novel, The Empty Space, begins with the identification of those dead nineteen. The mother who enters the cafe last to identify the nineteenth body brings home her dead eighteen-year-old son packed in a box, as well as the sole survivor of the blast, a three-year-old boy who, by a strange quirk of fate, is found lying in a small empty space, alive and breathing. This book chronicles the memories of the boy gone, the story of the boy brought home, and the cataclysmic crossing of life and death. +++++ “The Empty Space by Geetanjali Shree, translated by Nivedita Menon, provides a window to the very best of contemporary literature from the subcontinent. This fragmentary Hindi bildungsroman about the aftermath of a suicide bombing is truly outstanding” -- Jacques Testard
