As complex as they are political, the characters in Ajay navaria's stories - ranging from a Brahmin Peon to a Dalit male prostitute - are neither black nor white, neither clearly good nor evil. They inhabit a grey Zone; they linger in the transitional passageway between past object and future subject, casteism and democracy. Translated from the Hindi by Laura brueck, unclaimed terrain heralds the arrival of a bold new voice in Indian literature.
