Cobalt Blue is a tale of rapturous love and fierce heartbreak told
with tenderness and unsparing clarity. Brother and sister Tanay and
Anuja both fall in love with the same man, an artist lodging in
their family home in Pune, in western India. He seems like the
perfect tenant, ready with the rent and happy to listen to their
mother's musings on the imminent collapse of Indian culture. But
he's also a man of mystery. He has no last name. He has no family,
no friends, no history, and no plans for the future. When he runs
away with Anuja, he overturns the family's lives. Translated from
Marathi by acclaimed novelist and critic Jerry Pinto, Sachin
Kundalkar's elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare novel explores
the disruption of a traditional family by a free-spirited stranger
to examine a generation in transition. Intimate, moving, sensual,
and wry in its portrait of young love, Cobalt Blue is a frank and
lyrical exploration of gay life in India that recalls the work of
Edmund White and Alan Hollinghurst of people living in emotional
isolation, attempting to find long-term intimacy in relationships
that until recently were barely conceivable to them.
