About
I'm a writer of fiction and a teacher of English Literature at Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. My third novel Black Light (Harper Collins India 2010) is a mystery story about the death of an artist, while my second, The City of Love (Penguin India, 2007) is a tale set against the backdrop of piracy and the spice trade in sixteenth century Bengal, and was shortlisted for the Vodafone Crossword Book Award. My first published novel, Signal Red (Penguin, 2005), is a near-future science fiction story about a defence scientist caught up in a state conspiracy, and is now available as a free ebook on this site. Empires of the Mind (OUP India, 2006), my academic history of Oxford University Press’s relations with India before 1947, won the SHARP de Long Book Prize for that year. I've also published short stories and poems. I'm working on my next novel, titled Antisense, a far future sci fi story, and a graphic novel titled Kalpa: Shadowfalls.
